Sets the right side character spacing to [
n
x horizontal or vertical motion units].
Values for this command are set independently in Standard and Page Mode.
The units of horizontal and vertical motion are specified by the Set Horizontal
and Vertical Minimum Motion Units (1D 50…) command. Changes in the
horizontal or vertical units do not affect the current right side character spacing.
When the horizontal or vertical motion unit is changed by the Set Horizontal and
Vertical Minimum Motion Units (1D 50…) command the value must be in even
units and not less than the minimum amount of horizontal movement.
In Standard Mode the horizontal motion unit is used.
In Page Mode the horizontal or vertical motion unit differs and depends on the
starting position of the printable area. When the starting printing position is the
upper left or lower right of the printable area (set by Select Print Direction in
Page Mode, 1B 54 n) the horizontal motion unit (
x
) is used. When the starting
printing position is the upper right or lower left of the printable area (set by
Select Print Direction in Page Mode, 1B 54 n) the vertical motion unit (
y
) is used.
Exception:
This command is ignored in A756 Emulation Mode and is only valid on the
receipt station.
