1) ESC A+n
This code specifies the amount of line spacing in the Line Feed.
1 <<n >
"n"=1 is equivalent to 1/72 inch paper advancement.
Since the distance between any two dot wires of the print head is
1/72 inch, any line spacing in increments proportional to the dis-
tance between the dot wires can be established.
The ESC A code is the command only to store spacing data into
the memory. In other words, even if spacing data was transferred
into the memory, the Printer does not actually carry out the line
spacing in accordance with the spacing data. To execute the line
spacing in accordance with the stored data, the ESC 2 code
should be followed. Namely, the ESC 2 code is considered as the
execution command for the line spacing.
