Fine Line Spacing - Oki 182 Handbook

ML182/183 __________________________________
The ESC 2 command implements the line spacing set by the ESC A
command. Should no ESC A command precede the ESC 2 command,
the default line spacing (6 LPI) will be activated by the ESC 2
command.

The ESC 3 command is a user-selectable line space setting command
that lets you shoose a setting in increments of 1/216 inch. You can
select a maximum line space setting of 255/216 inches, which is the
equivalent of one printed line every 1-39/216 inches. (See NOTE).

The ESC J command allows you to interrupt the set line spacing and
reset the line spacing for a single line to a multiple of 1/216 inch.
You can select a maximum space setting of 255/216 inches, which is
the equivalent of a 1-39/216 inches line space. Upon receipt of the
ESC
J
command, the printer prints out the line containing the com­
mand and advances the paper the distance specified by the com­
mand. Line spacing then returns to the previous setting, and the
printer continues to print. (See NOTE).
NOTES TO ESC 3 AND ESC J: The standard IBM printer advance is expressed in
multiples of 11216 inch. IBM-compatible MICROLINE hardware performs paper
advances in multiples of 1/144 inch rather than 11216 inch; therefore, MICROLINE
software automatically multiplies the number specified in ESC 3 and ESC J statements
by 2/3 to perform the most precise IBM emulation.
