Section 4. Programming Reference

Special Notes

1.

This command is affected by the <ESC>L Character Expansion

 

 

command (see Page 4-23). The character pitch is actually the

 

 

product of the current horizontal expansion multiple and the

 

 

designated pitch value.

 

Example:

 

 

<ESC>L0304

 

 

<ESC>P03

 

 

Pitch = (03) x (03) = 9 dots

 

2.

To avoid confusion, you may want to include the <ESC>L

 

 

Character Expansion command and this command together in

 

 

your program.

 

3.

This command affects fonts U, S, M, XU, XS, XM, OA & OB (see

 

 

Page 4-34, fonts WB, WL, XB and XL (see Page 4-38), and the

 

 

vector font (see Page 4-36).

 

4.

Character Pitch will always revert to the default value unless it is

 

 

specified before each new font command in the data stream.

 

5.

This command also affects Codabar, Code 39 and Industrial

 

 

2 of 5 bar codes.
