Sets subsequent line feed amounts to a value approximate to n/216 inch.
Because the minimum pitch for the paper feed mechanism is 1/144 of an inch, the setting value will
be approximated according to the following equation.
INT (n x 2/3 + 0.5)/144 of an inch
Line feed amounts can be set independently for both line mode and page mode.
