1000 takes care of this without special instructions. If, however, you want to understand how line spacing works or you need to change the line spacing for a special application such as graphics, you'll want to read this brief explanation. The movement of the paper between lines is called a line feed. The distance the paper moves is called a line space. In ordinary printing the line spacing is 1/ 6-inch, which produces six lines of print per inch. Figure 5-5 will help you visualize this spacing. As you can see in the figure, the standard (default) spacing is the same as 12 rows of dots.
Since the MPS 1000 characters use nine rows of dots, the 12 dot line spacing leaves three blank rows between the lines of text. Figure 5- 5. Standard line spacing The default line spacing illustrated in Figure 5-5 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.
