Purpose

Selects line spacing of 1/8 or 7/72 inch for the current line only.

Comment

The default line spacing is reselected automatically after one line. Select line spac-
ing either by the control panel 6/8 LPI switch or by line spacing control codes. The
control code setting overrides the setting on the display.

8 and 10.3 lpi spacing for one line applies only to P–Series programming compati-
bility.

If the alternate line spacing selected from the control panel is 8 lpi, the ACK control
code will set the line spacing to 8 lpi. If 10.3 lpi was selected from the control panel,
the ACK control code will set line spacing to 10.3 lpi (7/72 inch).

In Serial Matrix printer protocol, you can use this line spacing command for a single
line with ESC J (Line Feed n/216–Inch), where n=27 for 8 lpi, or n= 21 for 10.3 lpi,
and Line Feed = Newline.

In Serial Matrix compatible control code ESC 0 and P–Series SFCC 0 can be used
for continuous 1/8–inch line spacing.

Example

The following example illustrates printing a single line of text at 8 lpi.
