Line Spacing Commands
The TM-T88/T88P (TM-T85/T85P) supports the following commands for setting line spacing. These
commands only set the line spacing; they do not actually advance the paper. The line spacing can be
set independently in standard mode and in page mode. The line spacing set using these commands
affects the results of LF and ESC d and paper feeding by using the FEED button.

ESC 2 sets the line spacing to 1/6 inch. This is equivalent to 30 dots.
ESC 3 n sets the line spacing to n × (vertical or horizontal motion unit). The default setting of the
paper feed amount is 1/6 inch (n=60). The maximum line spacing amount is 40 inches. When
standard mode is selected, the vertical motion unit set by GS P is used. When page mode is selected,
the vertical or horizontal motion unit set by GS P is used for the print direction set by ESC T.
The line spacing can be set independently in standard mode and in page mode.
