Epson LX-90TM Manuale Utente

The standard line spacing is the only one you need for almost all

printing of text, but in some cases you may want to increase or

decrease the space between lines. The LX-90 has several commands to

do this. ESCape “0” changes the line spacing to l/B-inch, ESCape “1”

changes the line spacing to 7/72-inch, and ESCape “2” returns it to

l/6-inch.

In addition there 

commands to specify the line spacing in 72nds

of an inch and 216ths of an inch. If you need to make such fine adjust-

ments in the line spacing, see Appendix C for the proper commands.

In the chapter on dot graphics you will see how useful changes in line

spacing can be,

Under the platen (the black roller) of your LX-90 printer is a small

switch that senses whether or not paper is in the printer. When the end

of the paper passes this switch, it triggers a signal 

sounds the

beeper and stops your printing. This saves wear on your print head,

ribbon, and platen, but because of the distance between the switch

and the print head, it stops the printing about 2 inches from the end of

the page. Therefore, if you use single-sheet paper in your LX-90, you

can’t print on the last two inches of each page without an adjustment.

If you need to print on the last two inches of single sheet paper, there

are two solutions: send the printer an ESCape “8” or change one of the

DIP switches described in Appendix D. Some computers ignore the

DIP switch setting and ESCape “8”. See Appendix D.

The NLQ (Near Letter Quality) mode offers a justification com-

mand that gives you four choices in the formatting of your text. The

command is ESCape “a” followed by one of these numbers:

0 Left justify

1 Center

2 Right justify

3 Auto justify

Left justification is the standard format, in which 

left margin is

even and the right margin is not. This is the way most typewritten

pages look.
