It is only necessary to change this setting when your application software does not support this function. <LINE/INCH> This feature allows you to change the space between the lines of print. The default for LINE/INCH is 6. It is only necessary to change this setting when your application software does not support this function. <OUTLINE> This feature prints an outline or contour of the character.
