LINE SPACING
When you turn on the printer, it's automatically set to print
at a line spacing of 6 lines per inch
-
that is, the distance
between the bottom of one line and the bottom of the next
line is 1 /6"
.
(This is the normal line spacing of a typewriter.)
To fit mo re printing on a page, you can change the line
spacing to 8 lines per inch, or for special effects you can
change line spacing in multiples of
1/
144".
This doesn't
affect the height of the characters
-
only the space between
lines.
Keep in mind that changing line spacing affects the Top of
Form position, since it changes the number of lines per page.
