VERTICAL MOTION INDEX
     
     The Vertical Motion Index ( VMI ) command designates
     the distance between rows in 1/48 inch increments (The
     vertical distance the cursor will move for a line feed
     operation).
     
     This command affects the line feed and half line feed
     spacing.
     
     The factory default VMI is 8 which corresponds to 6
     lines per inch. The VMI command should always be sent
     after any page orientation command.  Changes made in
     the default top margin or disabling perforation skip
     region at the bottom of the page will result in a
     change to the default vertical printable area.
     
     To invoke the VMI command, type Ec&l#C.  The l is
     equivalent to a lower case L.
     The # designates a variable that is derived from the
     following formula:
     
     (Vertical Printable Area / Desired Lines Per Page) x 48
     = #
