Horizontal pitch is modified by the Graphic Size Modification (GSM) command,
as described in Section 19.6. Horizontal pitch is not modified by the typestyle
selection, except for Data Block, for which proportional spacing is forced,
described in Section 19.7.
16.8 Vertical Text Resolution
The LA600 MultiPrinter supports a vertical resolution of 1/2160" internally,
allowing it to maintain accurate positioning for all line spacings using English
units.
The LA600 MultiPrinter also supports the metric line spacing parameters
under Set Vertical Pitch (DECVERP) in the Command Dictionary.
The LA600 MultiPrinter uses approximations for the metric line spacing
parameters. These approximations are given in Table 16–5.
