n Moving down the page without a carriage return
So far, all the commands
that move the paper also move the
print head to the left margin. And normally this is what you
want. Sometimes,
though, you may wish to move down the page
without
moving the printhead
back to the left margin.
The
following commands
do just that.
The (ESC)"J"CHR$(n)
command causes the printer to make
one line feed of n/180 inch, but does not change the setting of the
line spacing. Try this program to see how it works:
10 ' Demo of one-time
line
feeds
20 LPRINT "LINE NUMBER 1."
30 LPRINT "LINE NUMBER 2.";
40 ' One-time line feed
50 LPRINT CHR$(27);"J*';CHR$(lOO);
60 LPRINT "LINE NUMBER 3."
70 LPRINT "LINE NUMBER 4."
80
END
Here is what your printer will produce:
LINE NUMBER
1.
LINE NUMBER
2.
LINE NUMBER
3.
LINE NUMBER
4.
