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°-
		right-turned).
		(1) Commands using x:		ESC SP, ESC $, ESC \, GS L,
				GS W
		(2) Commands using y: ESC 3, ESC J, GS V
	• 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 \, GS V
	(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 \, GS V
	• 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
