This command can be used to produce micro-justification, which is a method of justifying lines by increasing the space be- tween each character.

nPrinting at half-speed

This printer can print at the fine of 180 characters per second (CPS) with the draft characters or 60 CPS with the LQ characters. But it will also more slowly if you want it to: the half-

speed mode prints at 90 CPS with the draft characters or 30
