User’s Manual a) Line spacing setting command (ESC + A + n) Dot line space setting is determined by entering the code ESC +A + n. Initial setting is 2 dot line space. The n should be an even number in the range of 0 £ n £ 255.
Page 27
User’s Manual As this printer prints out 4 dot lines as one unit, the lacking data is output as space once the data for 4 dot lines are read in or the output of data specified in n1, n2 and n3 has finished.
