Partial Line Down (PLD) — Subscripting
ASCII Code ESC K
Hex Code 1B 4B
Dec Code 27 75
Purpose Print subscripted characters.
Discussion This sequence moves the active position down a distance equal to 1/2 a
vertical line increment, as determined by the currently active font. The
Partial Line Up (PLU) sequence returns the active position to the
previous baseline.
The printer prints superscripted characters that go over the top page margin
without disrupting the baseline of the superscripted characters. If PLD occurs
while the active position is over the top margin, it has no effect; however,
other active line affecting control functions still produce their distinctive
effect.
For example, if the active line is over the top margin, a carriage return <CR>
places the active line at the top of the margin and characters continue to be
imaged as superscript until disabled. If the active line is below the bottom
margin, a carriage return <CR> performs a form feed and characters continue
to be imaged as superscripts until disabled.
