ESC SP n sets the right-side character spacing in [n
× (horizontal motion unit)] inches. It is used to
change the spacing between characters. The default right-side character spacing is set to 0 (n=0). The
horizontal motion unit uses the horizontal value set by the GS P command. The default value in the
horizontal direction is 1/150 inch.
