Defining the ‘Spacing’ options Error! Bookmark not
defined.

The line spacing action for a ‘Line End’ character is set in the Spacing section of
the dialogue.

The ‘Print This Line’ option specifies that the line which the selected
character terminates is to be printed. By not selecting this option the
line will not be printed, which is a very rare requirement.

When a line is terminated the print position will need to be vertically
‘spaced’ down one line unless you wish to over-print the current line.
You have the choice to space down one line 

before you print the line

or after. It is also possible to space before and after but this is rare
and would result in double line spacing.

• 

Select the ‘Before printing’ checkbox and the ‘Space’ radio
button if you wish to space down one line before printing the
current line.

• 

Select the ‘After printing’ checkbox and the ‘Space’ radio
button if you wish to space down one line after printing the
current line.

In the case of a Line-feed character, you would normally space 

printing the line, in the same way as a typewriter does

It possible to perform no spacing at all and this is how the carriage-
return byte should be set. By not selecting any spacing action, the
next line will overprint the same line.

The above spacing settings are illustrated on pages 

83 and 55.

 

In the case of Form feeds we do not want to space down a line, we
would rather ‘skip’ to a new page (see the following page).
