Control Codes

Character Pitch

Function	Set Character spacing in points.		All
ASCII	[ESC] + I <d>
Hexadecimal		1BH 2BH 49H
Decimal	<27> <43> <73>
Range	d	= 0, 4 – 72

The [ESC] + I command will set the character spacing in points, where one point is defined as 1/72nd of an inch. This command will force mono-space printing. It will override any character spacing set by the set character height and width commands defined above. This spacing will be enforced until deactivated by setting the value to 0 or if the set character height and width commands use a 0 for the width indicating proportional spacing should be used. This command differs from the [ESC] + J command in that all characters are centered on the fixed cell size. It the character is too big for the cell, it may overlap the previous and next character. The character size is not adjusted to fit the cell.

If d = 0 variable spacing is selected.

Note: If the current character size is too large for the selected spacing, the characters will overlap. Variable spacing is recommended.

ASCII	[ESC] + i <d>
