The
ESC
2 command implements the line spacing set by the
ESC
A
command. Should no
ESC
A command precede the
ESC
2 command,
the default line spacing
(6
LPI)
will
be activated by the
ESC
2
command.

The
ESC
3 command
is
a user-selectable line space setting command
that lets you shoose a setting in increments
of
1/216 inch. You can
select a
maximum
line space setting
of
255/216 inches,
which
is
the
equivalent
of
one printed line every 1-39/216 inches.
(See
NOTE).

The
ESC
J command allows you to interrupt the
set
line spacing and
reset the line spacing for a single line to a
multiple
of
1/216 inch.
You
can
select a
maximum
space setting
of
255/216 inches,
which
is
the equivalent
of
a 1-39/216 inches line space.
Upon
receipt
of
the
ESC
J command, the printer prints
out
the line containing the com-
mand and advances the paper the distance specified by the com-
mand. Line spacing then returns to the previous setting, and the
printer continues to print.
(See
NOTE).
NOTES
TO
ESC 3 AND ESC
J:
The
standard IBM printer advance is expressed in
multiples
of
11216 inch. IBM-compatible MICROLINE hardware performs
paper
advances in multiples
of
1/144
inch rather than 11216 inch; therefore, MICROLINE
software automatically multiplies the
number
specified in ESC 3 and
ESC
J statements
by
2/3
to perform the most precise IBM emulation.
