Set Intercharacter Space

A maximum of 32 horizontal tabs can be set.

The printer does not move the print position to any tabs beyond the right-margin position. However, all tab settings are stored in the printer’s memory; if you move the right margin, you can access previously ignored tabs.

The printer calculates tab positions based on 10 cpi if proportional spacing is selected with the ESC p command.

The default is every eight characters.

character.

 

n1

Specifies the space to the left of the printed character.

 

n2

Specifies the space to the right of the printed character.

 

The dot size of n1 and n2 is 1/180 inch.

Comment

A DBCS character with a half-width feature set by the FS SI

 

command is treated as an SBCS character.

This command also affects an SBCS character if the character is aligned with DBCS by the FS U command.

If the SBCS character is aligned with the DBCS character, the intercharacter space of the SBCS character is half of n1 and n2.

This command affects the front panel setting of “DBCS CPI.” The default is n1 = 0, n2 = 3.
