Line Spacing Commands

The TM-L60II/L60IIP printers support the following commands for setting line spacing. These
commands only set the line spacing; they do not actually advance the paper. The line spacing set
using these commands affects the results of the LF and ESC d commands. The paper is advanced
using the paper feed button (PAPER FEED).

ESC 2 sets the line spacing to 1/6 inch. This is equivalent to 30 dots.
ESC 3 n sets the line spacing to [n (vertical or horizontal motion unit)] inches. The default setting of
the paper feed amount is 1/6 inch (n=60). The maximum line spacing amount is 40 inches. When
standard mode is selected, the vertical motion unit set by GS P is used. When page mode is selected,
the vertical or horizontal motion unit set by GS P is used for the print direction set by ESC T.
Program Example
PRINT #1, CHR$(&H1D);"P";CHR$(180);CHR$(180);
FOR n=25 TO 50 STEP 5
PRINT #1, CHR$(&H1B);"3";CHR$(n);
PRINT #1, "AAAAA"; CHR$(&HA);
NEXT n
PRINT #1, CHR$(&H1B);"2";
PRINT #1, "BBBBB"; CHR$(&HA);
