A line feed (LF) command causes the printer to print the data in the
line buffer and then to move the print position down by the selected
line spacing. If in the printer menu Auto CR is set at Yes, a carriage
return is executed and the print position is set the the left margin.
With a variable line feed of n/360 inch no carriage return is execut-
ed, despite the settings of the printer menu. If 0 is set for the param-
eter n in this command, no line feed is executed.
If the Alternate Graphics Mode is activated in the menu line feed by
ESC J n is n/180 inch.

ESC 3 and ESC J.
● The parameters m

the command ESC A.

When the printer is turned on the basis for line spacing for ESC
