This command specifies the cell offset for the enlarged characters in 1/180”.
The cell offset is used to execute a line feed (LF) command.
In the enlarged character mode, the line is fed by a pitch of (24 + cell
offset)/180” x cell expansion.
The VMI is invalid and the cell offset is 6 by default.

Function: Specifies the pitch of enlarged characters.

n = 00H,30H:

10 cpi

01H,31H: 12

cpi

02H,32H: Proportional

The MSB of the parameter is masked. Any sequences other than the above
parameters are ignored.
If the fixed pitch is selected, enlarged characters have the following width:

10 cpi: (18

×

180”) x widthwise expansion

12 cpi: (15

×

180”) x widthwise expansion

In the proportional mode, proportional characters are expanded by the same
ratio.
When the rotational angle for enlarged characters is set to 90 or 270 degrees,
characters other than graphic character are printed at a pitch of (24/180”) x
length expansion. If the PITCH LOCK option is set to YES in the
EXTENDED SETUP MODE, this command is ignored.
The HMI is invalidated and the character pitch is 10 cpi by default.
