Set Line Spacing to 7/72” ESC 1
Sets the line spacing to 7/72 of an inch per line. Since the distance between print head wires is 1/72 of an
inch, this is equivalent to setting seven wire spacing. This is not particularly useful for text, but may be useful
for graphics if 7-bit graphics data is being sent. Overrides the “Lines/Inch” value in the forms menu.
Escape Sequence: ESC 1
Hexadecimal: 1B 31
Start Line Spacing ESC 2
Sets the line spacing to the value selected by ESC A n. Overrides the “Lines/Inch” value in the forms menu.

Set Line Spacing to n/216” ESC 3 n
Sets the line spacing to n/216 of an inch per line. 0≥n≥255. Overrides the “Lines/Inch” value in the forms
menu.
NOTE: The actual resolution of the printer's paper stepper motor is 1/288 of an inch. When spacing is
specified in 1/216 of an inch, the printer will actually move paper to the nearest 1/288 of an inch.
Example: The following escape sequence will set line spacing to one half inch.

Set Line Spacing to n/72” ESC A n
Sets the line spacing to n/72 of an inch per line. 0≥n≥255. Since the distance between print head wires is
1/72 of an inch, this is equivalent to setting n wire spacing. This spacing is stored but does not take effect
until ESC 2 is received. Overrides the “Lines/Inch” value in the forms menu.
Example: The following escape sequence will set line spacing to 8/72 of an inch, for use with eight wire
graphics.
Escape Sequence: ESC A 8
