ESC SP

Function:

Set right-side character spacing

Code ASCII: ESC SP n

Code HEX: 0x1B 0x20 n

Range:

0 ≤ n ≤ 255

Default: n = 0

Description:

Sets the right-side character spacing to n × (horizontal or vertical motion

unit).

Notes:

• The right-side character spacing set by this command is effective for all

characters (except for HRI characters).

• When characters are enlarged, the right-side character spacing is n

times normal value. The right-side character spacing for double-width

mode is twice the normal value.

• When standard mode is selected, the horizontal motion unit is used.

• When page mode is selected, the vertical or horizontal motion unit is

used for the print direction set by ESC T.

• When the starting position is set to the upper left or lower right of the

printing area using ESC T, the horizontal motion unit is used.

• When the starting position is set to the upper right or lower left of the

printing area using ESC T, the vertical motion unit is used.

• The right-side character spacing can be set independently in standard

mode and in page mode.

• This command is used to change the spacing between characters.

• GS P specifies the vertical or horizontal motion unit.

• The settings of this command are effective until ESC @ is executed, the

printer is reset, or the power is turned off.

• Changes in the horizontal or vertical units do not affect the current right

side character spacing.
