Function	Set minimum character height and width in points.			All
ASCII	[ESC] + P <w><h>
Hexadecimal		1BH 2BH 50H
Decimal	<27> <43> <80>
Range	w = 0, 4 – 72		h = 4 - 72

The [ESC] + P command will set the minimum character width or height based on “w” for the width and “h” for height, where “w” and “h” are in points, defined as 1/72nd of an inch increments.

If the character width is set to zero, the height will be used for the width and proportional spacing will be used.

Note: The set pitch command will take precedence unless this command selects 0 width.

Function	Set minimum character height and width in ¼ points.			All
ASCII	[ESC] + p <w><h>
Hexadecimal		1BH 2BH 70H
Decimal	<27> <43> <112>
Range	w = 0, 16 – 255		h = 16 - 255

The [ESC] + p command will set the minimum character width or height based on “w” for the width and “h” where “w” and “h” are in ¼ points or 1/288th of an inch increments. This approximates setting characters by dot.

If the character width is set to zero, the height will be used for the width and proportional spacing will be used.

Note: The set pitch command will take precedence unless this command selects 0 width.

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.
