The program works just the same as before, but the line spac-
ings are just one-third what they were. This is because (ESC)
"3" CHR$(n) sets the line spacing to n/216 inch.
Table 4-2 shows all the line spacing commands,
including
several "shortcut" commands
for commonly used line spacings.

n Moving down the page without a carriage return
So far, all the commands
that move the paper also move the
print head back to the left margin. 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/216 inch, but does not change the setting of the
line spacing. Try this program to see how it works:
