ESC SP n
[Function] Setting the right spacing of the character
[Code] <1B>H<20>H<n>
[Range] 0 n 255
[Outline] Sets the right spacing of character to [n
× basic calculation pitch] inches.
[Caution] • If the horizontal magnification of character is 2 or more, the right spacing increases
with the magnification.
• Does not affect Kanji.
• The right spacing can be set separately for the STANDARD and PAGE MODES.
• The basic calculation pitch is set by GS P. Once defined, the right spacing is not
changed if the basic calculation pitch is changed by GS P.
• Fractions resulting from calculation are corrected with the minimum pitch of the
mechanism, and the remainder is omitted.
• In STANDARD MODE, this command uses the horizontal basic calculation pitch (x).
• In PAGE MODE, the basic calculation pitch used by this command depends on the
start point:
(1) If the start point specified by ESC T is top left or bottom right, the command
uses the horizontal basic calculation pitch (x).
(2) If the start point specified by ESC T is top right or bottom left, the command
uses the vertical basic calculation pitch (y).
• The maximum right spacing is capable of approximately 31.906 mm (255/203
inches). A setting greater than this maximum is trimmed to the maximum.
[Default] n = 0
