Line Feed - SATO CL408 Programming Reference Manual

LINE FEED

FUNCTION
To print multiple lines of the same character size without specifying a new print position for
each line.
FORMAT
<ESC>Eaaa
Place preceding the text that will use the line feed function.
EXAMPLE <ESC>A
<ESC>E010<ESC>H0050<ESC>V0050<ESC>L0202<ESC>S
THIS IS THE 1ST LINE<CR>
THIS IS THE 2ND LINE<CR>
THIS IS THE 3RD LINE<CR>
<ESC>Q1<ESC>Z
OUTPUT
(4-60)
NOTES
With the Line Feed (<ESC>E) command, specify the number of dots you want between each line.
Then, send an ASCII <ESC>CR at the end of each line of text. The printer automatically identifies the
size of the last character, moves down the number of dots specified, and begins printing the next line.
It is effective only for the current data stream.
When printing lines or boxes in the same data stream with the Line Feed command, the Lines and
Boxes command should be specified last, preceding Quantity (<ESC>Q) command.
This command is invalid only if the value specified is zero.
Following this command with a <ESC>CR character will allow printing with auto line feed. The print
position will be determined from the value specified and the H value set in the printer. If several "H"
values are specified after this command, the print position will be determined by the "H" value last
specified. The font to be used must be redefined after each "H" command.
