Commands

Description

ESC [(p1);

LINE/CHARACTER SPACING

(p2) <SP> G

p1 = line spacing parameter p2 = character spacing parameter

 

If you select doublewide printing (ESC [5m), then the printer doubles character

 

spacing set by this command. If the designed pitch of the current font is 10 cpi and

 

doublewide is set, then a character spacing argument of 72 results in a pitch of 5 cpi,

 

at which horizontal segments of line-draw characters are contiguous.

 

Example: ESC [90;60 <sp> G

 

sets the vertical spacing to 8 lines per inch and the horizontal spacing to 12

 

characters per inch. (720 divided by 8 = 90, and 720 divided by 12 = 60).
