GS P x y
[Function] | Specifying the basic calculation pitch | ||
[Code] | <1D>H<50>H<x><y> | ||
[Range] | 0 | x | 255 |
| 0 | y | 255 |
[Outline] | This command sets the horizontal basic calculation pitch to | ||
| approx. 25.4/x mm (1/x inches), and the vertical basic calculation | ||
| pitch to approx. 25.4/y mm (1/y inches). | ||
| • If x = 0, the horizontal basic calculation pitch is reverted to the | ||
|
| default value. | |
| • If y = 0, the vertical basic calculation pitch is reverted to the | ||
|
| default value. | |
[Caution] | • The | horizontal direction is defined as the direction | |
|
| perpendicular to the paper feed, and the vertical direction is | |
|
| defined as the paper feed direction. | |
| • In STANDARD MODE, the following parameters are used | ||
|
| regardless of the character orientation (e.g. inverted or 90°- | |
|
| ||
|
| (1) Commands using x: ESC SP, ESC $, ESC \, GS L, | |
|
| GS W | |
|
| (2) Commands using y: ESC 3, ESC J | |
| • In PAGE MODE, the parameters used depend on the character | ||
|
| orientation, as follows: | |
|
| (1) If the start point specified by ESC T is the top left or bottom | |
|
| right (The characters are mapped in the direction | |
|
| perpendicular to the paper feed): | |
|
| • Commands using x: ESC SP, ESC $, ESC W, ESC \ | |
|
| • Commands using y: ESC 3, ESC J, ESC W, GS $,GS \ | |
|
| (2) If the start point specified by ESC T is the top right or bottom | |
|
| left (The characters are mapped in the paper feed direction): | |
|
| • Commands using x: ESC 3, ESC J, ESC W, GS $,GS \ | |
|
| • Commands using y: ESC SP, ESC $, ESC W, ESC \ | |
|
| • This command does not affect any other values that are | |
|
| already set. | |
|
| • If calculations made in combination with another command | |
|
| generate fractions, the fractions are corrected with the | |
|
| minimum pitch of the mechanism, and the remainder is | |
|
| omitted. | |
[Default] | x = 203, y = 360 | ||
