.125 mm). The default is 3 (.375 mm).
When using PC Line-Draw characters,
specify 0.

Example: ESC-a2

Sets the space between text lines to .25 mm.

ESC-'J'-<num>

Performs a specified number of .125mm line
feeds.

<num> 1-FF

The number of line feeds, specified in
hex. The default is 1 (.125 mm).

Using Flash Memory Graphics

You can also use a graphic previously stored in flash memory. You are
limited to one graphic stored in memory at a time. Saving a graphic to flash
memory when there is already one there overwrites the previous one.

1.

Remove the printer’s battery and wait several seconds.

2.

Re-insert the battery and enter Download Mode immediately (see
below). It takes two commands to make the transition to Download
Mode:

A.

ESC-'DL'

B.

ESC-'LG0'

Have the host wait to send the second command until the printer
responds to the first command by returning a ‘?‘ character.

3.

Transmit the graphic one line at a time using the ESC-V command as
described in “Using Data Stream Graphics.”

ESC-'V'-<lines1><lines2>-#data#
