Indenting
With this feature one line of print can be indented for the beginning of
paragraphs, positioning headings, etc. The amount of indentation is
calculated in dot columns. A dot column is the distance from the centre of
one dot to the centre of the next dot within a character pattern. This
distance varies according to the size of the character. The following table
shows the measurements for each size:
Indentation to the exact dot position distance from the print head's home
position can be set by entering the following control code sequence:
The column number (n1, n2, n3, n4) must be a four-digit number and
cannot be less than the left margin or exceed the right margin. If
programming in BASIC using hexadecimal, remember to represent each
of the four digits with a two-digit hexadecimal number. Be sure to include
the semicolon (;) at the end of this code sequence, otherwise the command
will not work.
The actual amount of indentation varies with the character size, but the
indentation relative to the next line remains the same.
