ESC FF

[Name]	Print data in page mode
[Format]	ASCII	ESC	FF
	Hex	1B	0C
	Decimal	27	12

[Description] In page mode, prints all buffered data in the printing area collectively.

[Details]	•	This command is enabled only in page mode.
	•	After printing, the printer does not clear the buffered data, setting values for ESC T and ESC
		W, and the position for buffering character data.
[Reference]	FF, ESC L, ESC S

ESC SP n

[Name]	Set right-side character spacing
[Format]	ASCII	ESC	SP	n
	Hex	1B	20	n
	Decimal	27	32	n
[Range]	0 ≤ n ≤ 255

[Description] Sets the character spacing for the right side of the character to [n ⋅ horizontal or vertical motion units].

[Details]	• The right-side character spacing for double-width mode is twice the normal value. When
	characters are enlarged, the right-side character spacing is n times normal value.
	• This command does not affect the setting of Kanji characters.
	• This command sets values independently in each mode (standard and page modes).
	• The horizontal and vertical motion unit are specified by GS P. Changing the horizontal or
	vertical motion unit does not affect the current right-side spacing.
	• The GS P command can change the horizontal (and vertical) motion unit. However, the value
	cannot be less than the minimum horizontal movement amount, and it must be in even units
	of the minimum horizontal movement amount.
	• In standard mode, the horizontal motion unit is used.
	• In page mode, the horizontal or vertical motion unit differs in page mode, depending on
	starting position of the printable area as follows:

①When 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 When 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.
	• The maximum right-side spacing is 35.983 mm {255/180"}. Any setting exceeding the
	maximum is converted to the maximum automatically.
[Default]	n = 0
