Set Intercharacter Spacing

Set Intercharacter Spacing
ASCII Code ESC SP
n
Hex Code 1B 20 n
Dec Code 27 32 n
Purpose Defines n dots for intercharacter spacing.
Comment The valid values of
n
= 0 through 127. This control code defines
the space to the right of the printed character in dot positions.
Each time a character is printed,
n
number of dots are left blank
preceding the next character. For different print modes, the dot
resolution varies, e.g. DP=120 dpi, NLQ=180 dpi. If double
wide printing is enabled, the dot size adjusts accordingly. This
control code does not function while in DBCS mode.
Example The following program illustrates intercharacter space setting.
Set Intercharacter (One-Byte) Spacing In DBCS Mode
ASCII Code FS T
n1 n2
Hex Code 1C 54 n1 n2
Dec Code 28 84 n1 n2
Purpose Defines preceding/succeeding dots for inter-character spacing.
Comment This control code defines the space to the left/right of the
printed character in dot positions. The dot size for
n1
and
n2
is
equal to 180 dpi. The default for
n1
=0 and
n2
=2. This control
code does not function while in non-DBCS mode and only for
one-byte characters in DBCS mode.
