This command allows you to turn proportional spacing on or off.
Setting n to 1 turns proportional spacing on. Subsequent text is printed proportionally spaced.
Setting n to 0 turns proportional spacing off. Subsequent text is printed monospaced.
When you specify the value for n you can use the character codes for '0' and '1' (48 and 49) instead of 0 and
1.

You cannot use the backspace, BS, code in proportional spacing mode.
If you change the character pitch using Esc P or Esc M, proportional spacing is automatically turned off.
