where
n = 1 through 255 (hex 01 through hex FF).
Discussion The n /216-inch line feed control code is effective for one line
only. All single-line-only print attributes are canceled.
If the emulation is configured for LF equals newline
(LF=CR+LF), the paper advances one line at the n line spacing
setting and the logical print head is positioned at character
column 1.
The paper position moves only in multiples of the current dot row
spacing. If the distance to move is other than a multiple of the
current dot row spacing, the remainder is added to the next
paper motion command.
Small values of n may result in overlapping lines. Overlapping
lines may also occur if print attributes such as Elongated
(Double High), Superscript, or Subscript characters are used on
the same line. Printing at different horizontal and vertical
densities will not overlap.
Example
The following example illustrates n /216-inch line spacing.
