If the requested length is less than 1 pixel long (after conversion to
pixel units), the printer draws a line I pixel long. If the requested line
is less than 1 pixel wide, the printer draws a line 1 pixel wide.

Description
The DECSHORP command determines the num ber of
characters/inch (pitch) that the printer uses when Pitch Select Mode
(DECPSM) is reset. If DECPSM is set, the printer saves the
DECSHORP parameter.
The selective parameters for DECSHORP are as follows:
Ps Selection
0 Determined by current font.
1 720 centipoints (10 cpi)
2 600 centipoints (12 cpi)
3 550 centipoints (13.2 cpi)
4 440 centipoints (16.5 cpi)
5 1440 centipoints (5 cpi)
6 1200 centipoints (6 cpi)
7 1090 centipoints (6.6 cpi)
8 870 centipoints (8.25 cpi)
9 480 centipoints (15 cpi)
11 420 centipoints (a pprox. 17.1 cpi, or
14/240 in.
12 840 centipoints (a pprox. 8.5 cpi)
13 400 centipoints (18 c pi)
14 800 centipoints (9 cpi )
15 700 centipoints (a pprox. 10.3 cpi)
There may be printer limitations on pitch base d on resolution
restrictions. If fallbacks are used, however; the resulting characters
are the same size or smaller than those requested. See the discussion
of horizontal resolution in the Programming Supplement for the
actual pitches supported.
Side Effects
Execution of DECSHORP produces the following side effects:
▪ Sets the Left Margin Position to the origin.
▪ Sets the Right Margin Position to the right printable limit.
▪ Clears the Right Margin Flag.
