GS P x y
[Name] Set horizontal and vertical motion units
[Format] ASCII GS P x y
Hex 1D 50 x y
Decimal 29 80 x y
[Range] 0 ≤ x ≤ 255
0 ≤ y ≤ 255
[Description] Sets the horizontal and vertical motion units to approximately 25.4/x mm {1/x"} and
approximately 25.4/y mm {1/y"}, respectively.
When x and y are set to 0, the default setting of each value is used.
[Notes] • The horizontal direction is perpendicular to the paper feed direction and the
vertical direction is the paper feed direction.
• In standard mode, the following commands use x or y, regardless of character
rotation (upside-down or 90° clockwise rotation):
① Commands using x: ESC SP, ESC $, ESC \, FS S, GS L, GS W
② Commands using y: ESC 3, ESC J, ESC K
• In page mode, the following commands use x or y, depending on character
orientation:
① When the print starting position is set to the upper left or lower right of the
printing area using ESC T (data is buffered in the direction perpendicular to
the paper feed direction):
Commands using x: ESC SP, ESC $, ESC W, ESC \, FS S
Commands using y: ESC 3, ESC J, ESC W, GS $ , GS \
② When the print starting position is set to the upper right or lower left of the
printing area using ESC T (data is buffered in the paper feed direction):
Commands using x: ESC 3, ESC J, ESC W, GS $, GS \
Commands using y: ESC SP, ESC $, ESC W, ESC \, FS S
• The command does not affect the previously specified values.
• The calculated result from combining this command with others is truncated to
the minimum value of the mechanical pitch.
[Default] x = 150, y = 144
