The most common line spacings for text are six and eight lines per inch (lpi). A spacing of 8 lpi
works well with compressed character pitches, and lets you fit more lines on a page. In the IBM
and Epson emulations you can also set a line spacing of 7/72".

In the IBM mode, the ESC A n command must be followed by the ESC 2 Perform Line Feed
command (described earlier in this chapter) to set the value of n.
These commands let you control vertical movement in very fine increments, which helps with
the precise placement of graphics. The actual amount of movement is set by the value of
parameter n which can vary, depending on the emulation.
