Select / cancel proportional spacing

Escpn (27)(112)n <1Bh><70h>n

•This command allows you to turn proportional spacing on or off.

•Setting n to 1 turns proportional spacing on. Subsequent text is printed proportionally spaced.

•Setting n to 0 turns proportional spacing off. Subsequent text is printed monospaced.

•When you specify the value for n you can use the character codes for ‘0’ and ‘1’ (48 and 49) instead of 0 and 1.

•Selecting proportional spacing cancels condensed character mode.

•You cannot use the backspace, BS, code in proportional spacing mode.

•If you change the character pitch using Esc P or Esc M, proportional spacing is automatically turned off.
