ESC SP n
[Name] Set right-side character spacing
[Format] ASCII ESC SP n
Hex 1B 20 n
Decimal 27 32 n
[Range] 0≤n ≤255
[Description] Sets the character spacing for the right side of the character to
[n x horizontal or vertical motion units].
[Details] ·The right-side character spacing for double-width mode is twice the
normal value. When characters are enlarged, the right-side character
spacing is n times normal value.
·This command does not affect the setting of Kanji characters.
·This command sets values independently in each mode (standard and page modes).
·The horizontal and vertical motion units are specified by GS P.
Changing the horizontal or vertical motion units does not affect the current right-side spacing.
·The GS P command can change the horizontal (and vertical) motion unit. However, the value
cannot be less than the minimum horizontal movement amount, and it must be in even units
of the minimum horizontal movement amount.
·In standard mode, the horizontal motion unit is used.
·In page mode, the horizontal or vertical motion unit differs in page mode, depending on starting
position of the printable area as follows:
When the starting position is set to the upper left or lower right of the printable area using ①
ESC T, the horizontal motion unit (x) is used.
When the starting position is set to the upper right or lower left of the printable area using ②
ESC T, the vertical motion unit (y) is used.
·The maximum right-side spacing is 35.983 mm {255/180”}. Any setting exceeding the maximum
is converted to the maximum automatically.
