Text
length
is
set by sending
the
following sequence:
Set
text
length
Ec&I#F
# =
Number
of
text lines/page
The
value field (#) specifies
the
number
of
lines
of
text you wish
to
put
on
your
page.
If
a
text
length greater
than
the
page length
minus
the
top
margin
is
specified,
the
command
will
be
ignored.
If
a text length
of
zero
is
sent
to
the printer,
the
text length
is
defaulted.
The
default
text length, which
is
set
any
time
the
page
orientation, page length,
or
top
margin
is
changed,
is
one-half inch
less
than
the
maximum allowable text length (the page length
minus
the
top
margin).
In
other
words,
the
default
bottom
margin
is
1/2 inch.
VERTICAL
LINE
SPACING
Vertical line spacing
can
be
set using either
of
two
methods: lines
per inch spacing
or
vertical
motion
index (VMI). Lines
per
inch
spacing
is
most generally used, as it
is
usually
the
easiest
to
calculate. VMI
is
used
to
specify non-integer spacing values such
as
1.75
or
2.6
lines per inch. NOTE:
The
escape sequence most
recently received
will be in effect.
The
vertical line spacing
affects
the
line feed,
half
line feed
and
row/column
cursor spacing-regardless
of
which method
is
used.
(The escape sequence
for
half
line feed
is
discussed later in this
manual)
Setting Lines
Per
Inch
Set
the
vertical spacing increment in lines per inch by sending
the
following escape sequence:
Ec&1#D
# =
Number
of
lines/inch
2-11
