Variable Line Spacing - Epson FX-80 User Manual

(ESC) "0" changes the usual 12-dot line spacing to a handy variation:
9-dot (118") spacing. (Nine-dot spacing is especially useful in the 9-pin
Graphics Mode that we introduce in Chapter 13.) The (ESC) "2" in
line 50 restores the normal 12-dot line spacing.
Another convenient line spacing is 7-dot (7/72"). To see this one,
change line 10 to:
1(2J LPRINT CHR$(27)"1"
Seven-dot spacing isn't particularly useful for text, but you'll use it
extensively in the graphics programs presented later.
Variable line spacing (n/72")
The three line spacing commands shown above are included mainly
for convenience. The FX-80 allows variable line spacing to range from
o
to 85 dots' worth (0/72" to 85/72"). Try this program on for size
(and check your printout against Figure 7-2).
DELETE If{l
then change lines 20 and 30:
