8.10.40 CHINESE CHARACTER SPACING SET COMMAND [FS] S
Function Specifies spacing (or the number of dots) on both sides of a Chinese character.
Format [FS] Sn1n2
Term ASCII: FS S
Hex: 1Ch 53h
[Parameter]
n1: Spacing on the left of Chinese character 0 ≤ n1 ≤ 99 (00h ≤ n1 ≤ 63h)
n2: Spacing on the right of Chinese character 0 ≤ n2 ≤ 99 (00h ≤ n2 ≤ 63h)
Default value n1: 0, n2: 0
Explanation (1) Spacing defined this command is the one when a character size is standard. If a
character with a magnification of x 2 or over in the horizontal direction is expanded,
spacing will be determined by the specified spacing × magnification in the horizontal
direction.
(2) A sum of spacing on both sides of a character must never exceed 99. If so, it will
be changed to 99.
(3) Spacing can be independently specified in page and standard modes.
(4) If a double-width character is specified, spacing will also be doubled.
(5) For the B-EP series, spacing on the left of a Chinese character is added to spacing
on its right. Therefore, there is no space found on the left of the Chinese character
in the print output.
