The ESC A command both sets and begins n/60 inch line spacing.
IBM
You must use the ESC A and ESC 2 commands together. ESC A specifies line spacing
of
n
/72 inch or
n
/60 inch, and then the ESC 2 command tells the printer to begin using the
new line spacing. (The other commands both specify and begin spacing.) If you send
an ESC 2 command without first using ESC A, the printer will reset the line spacing
to the current menu setting.
You can use the ESC [ \ command to change the units used in the fine line commands
ESC 3 and ESC % 8. The only possible values for n are 180 for
n
/180 inch spacing; 216
for
n
/216 inch spacing; and 0 to keep the current unit.
When you send a form feed command, the printer prints any data that is in its buffer,
and the print position moves to the top of the next page. You can also use the FORM
FEED button on the control panel to feed a page through the printer.
You can specify a form length in either inches or lines. If you will most often be using
one of the standard page lengths listed on the menu, we recommend using Menu Select
mode to set a default form length, and then using one of the form length commands
whenever you want to change it temporarily.
When you use ESC C or ESC C NUL to change the form length, the skip over
perforation setting is cleared.
