Purpose Advances paper n/216 inch for one line only.
where n = 1 to 255
Comment The
n/216–inch line feed control code is ef
fective for one line only
. All single–line–
only print attributes are canceled.
If
the printer is configured for LF equals newline (LF=CR+LF), the paper advances
one
line at the current line space setting and the logical print head is positioned at
character column 1. When configured for LF function only (LF=LF ONLY), the
logical print head remains at the current character column position.
The
paper moves only in multiples of the current dot row spacing. If the distance to
move
is other
than a multiple of the current dot row spacing, the remainder is added
to the next paper motion command.
Small
values of
n
may result in overlapping lines. Overlapping lines may also
occur
if
print attributes such as Elongated (Double High), Superscript, or Subscript char
-
acters
are used on the same line. Printing at dif
ferent horizontal and vertical densi
-
ties
does not cause overlapping.
Example The following example illustrates n/216–inch line spacing.
