[Notes]
1. The character pitch is the distance between characters, fonts when selecting barcode / font print.
2. The character pitch is enlarged according to the expansion factor <L>, if specified.
3. Even if automatic line feed is selected <E> and line feed code [CR] is set, the character pitch remains valid (saved) and the setting does not
return to default. Only if Start data transfer <A> is selected, the setting returns to default.
4. When setting the character pitch <P> directly before specifying a barcode print, the pitch command for the barcode module becomes valid.
