Look in Chapter 3: Programming the Printer, “Character
appearance” for a description of both pitches.
This command and the select print modes command
(1B 21 n) affect pitch selection.
This is ignored in TM-T88 emulation and the parameter
byte goes into the print buffer.
Set right-side character spacing
ASCII ESC SP n
Hexadecimal 1B 20 n
Decimal 27 32 n
Range of n: 0 – 32
Default: 0
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.
