CHAPTER 3 PROGRAMMING
LINE SPACING
The
default
line spacing for the
IBM-compatible
ML182/183
printer
is
6 lines
per
inch. This means
that
when
the
printer
power
is
turned
on,
the
spacing
from
the
bottom
of
one
line
to
the
bottom
of
the
next
line
on
the
same page
is
automatically
set
to
1/6
inch.
This
is
also
the
normal
spacing
of
a standard
typewriter.
You
can
change the line spacing to 8 lines per inch to fit more lines
of
printing per page, and for special effects, you
can
also vary line
spacing in multiples
of
1/72
or
1/126 inch. This affects space be-
tween lines only, not the height
of
the characters.
