1B 33 n
27 51 n
Specifies the line spacing at n /180-inch increments.
Where:
n = 0 through 255
The 3 is an ASCII character 3, not hex 3. All line feeds following
receipt of this code are at n /180-inch line spacing until a new
line spacing is selected or the printer is reset. Line spacing set
by this control code overrides the line spacing setting set at the
control panel. When n = 0, the current line spacing is printed.
If the vertical distance to move is other than a multiple of the n /
180 inch, the remainder is added to the next paper motion
command.
Use caution when combining this control code with other print
attributes such as Elongated (Double High), Superscript, or
Subscript, because overlapping lines may occur. Print speed is
reduced if lines overlap.
The following example illustrates n /180-inch line spacing.
