Purpose Advances paper n/216 inch for one line only.
where n = 1 to 255
Comment The n/216-inch line feed control code is effective for one line only. All sinĆ
gle-line-only print attributes are canceled.
If the printer is configured for LF equals newline (LF=CR+LF), the paper
advances one line at the current line space setting and the logical print head is
positioned at character column 1.
The paper moves only in multiples of the current dot row spacing. If the disĆ
tance to move is other than a multiple of the current dot row spacing, the reĆ
mainder is added to the next paper motion command.
Small values of n may result in overlapping lines. Overlapping lines may also
occur if print attributes such as Elongated (Double High), Superscript, or
Subscript characters are used on the same line. Printing at different horizonĆ
tal and vertical densities will not overlap.
Example The following example illustrates n/216-inch line spacing.
