[Name] Set left- and right-side Kanji character spacing
[Format] ASCII FS S n1 n2
Hex 1C 53 n1 n2
Decimal 28 83 n1 n2
[Range] 0
≤ n1 ≤ 255
0 ≤ n2 ≤ 255
[Description] Sets left- and right-side Kanji character spacing n1 and n2, respectively.
�� W hen the printer model used supports GS P, the left-side character spacing is [n1 ×
horizontal or vertical motion units], and the right-side character spacing is [n2 × horizontal or
vertical motion units].
[Notes] • When double-width mode is set, the left- and right-side character spacing is twice the normal
value.
• The horizontal and vertical m otion units are set by GS P. The previously specified character
spacing does not change, even if the horizontal or vertical motion unit is changed using GS P.
• The value cannot be less than the minimum horizontal movement amount, and must be in
even units of the minimum horizontal movement amount.
• In standard m ode, the horizontal motion unit is used.
• In page mode, the horizontal or vertic al motion unit differs in page mode, depending on
starting position of the printable area as follows:
① W hen the starting position is set to the upper left or lower right of the printable
area using ESC T, the horizontal motion unit (x) is used.
② W hen the starting position is set to the upper right or lower left of the printable
area using ESC T, the vertical motion unit (y) is used.
③ T he maximum right-side spacing is 255/180 inches for the paper roll and is
approximately 35.983 mm {255/150 inches}. Any setting exceeding the maximum
is converted to the maximum automatically.
[Default] n1 = 0, n2 = 0
