Purpose Specifies the line spacing at n/216-inch increments.
where n = 1 to 255
Comment When the n/216-inch line spacing control code is received, all line feeds folĆ
lowing will be at n/216-inch line spacing until a new line spacing is selected or
power is reset. The control code line spacing selection will override the conĆ
trol panel line spacing setting and the message display will reflect the line
spacing in lines per inch. For a 50/216-inch line spacing, the message display
would reflect 4.3 lpi spacing.
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.
Caution should be used when combining this control code with other print atĆ
tributes such as Elongated (Double High), Superscript, or Subscript; overlapĆ
ping lines may occur. Printing at different horizontal and vertical densities
will not overlap.
Example The following example illustrates n/216-inch line spacing.
