Select Pitch
Comments:
Specifies the print pitch (character spacing), which determines the
distance from the left edge of one character cell to the left edge of
the
next one. If ESC SP (intercharacter spacing) is set with a value more
than 0, the distance between the characters will be the value of ESC
SF’
plus the value in the ESC, command.
If
nl=O,
the
pitch assigned to
each character is used. If
nl=l
the pitch specified by n2 and n3 is
selected and characters are printed in that pitch. The distance is
specified in units of the minimum increment (specified by ESC
q>,
using
the formula: total distance =
IQ
+
(n3
x 256). This command does
not
work if you are using proportional spacing.
