HP PCL Commands
44 HP DeskJet 600, 700, 800, 900 & HP 2000 Series PCL Developer’s Guide
10.8.7 Line Spacing
This command performs the same functions as VMI (Esc & l # C), except it identifies the VMI
in lines per inch (lpi). Both commands set linefeed spacing. To convert VMI to lpi:
lpi = 48.0/ VMI
In HP DeskJet printers, a value of 0 sets line spacing to 12 lpi.
10.8.8 Clear Horizontal Margins
Resets the left and right margins to their default positions. CAP is unchanged.
Left Margin = left bound of the logical page (column 0)
Right Margin = right bound of the logical page.
This command is considered to be obsolete, and is listed for backward compatibility only.
Do not use this command in new code, as subsequent HP DeskJet printers may not sup-
port the command.
