4-10 HP PCL Page Format Commands
HORIZONTAL MOTION INDEX
ESC &k#H
Decimal:
027 038 107 #...# 072
Hex:
1B 26 6B #...# 48
#: number of 1/120 increments
Use the horizontal motion index (HMI) to set the distance between columns. You can spec-
ify a value from 0 to 840. Values can be set to four decimal places. No horizontal motion
will occur if the HMI is 0.
If you use fixed pitch fonts, all printable characters including the space and backspace
characters, are affected by the HMI. If you select proportional fonts, the HMI affects only
the control code space character.
The HMI defaults if any font characteristics change and if shift in and shift out are used to
switch between primary and secondary fonts.
The pitch value in the font header equals the default HMI value. The factory default font
HMI value is 12 to give 10 characters per inch (12/120 = 1/10).
VERTICAL MOTION INDEX
ESC &l#C
Decimal:
027 038 108 # 067
Hex:
1B 26 6C # 43
#: number of 1/48 inch increments between rows
Use the vertical motion index (VMI) to set the space between rows. You can specify a val-
ue from 0 to 336. If you specify a VMI value greater than the current addressable print area
length, the printer ignores the command. You can specify a value up to four decimal points.
A zero value indicates no vertical motion.
The VMI command affects the spacing of both line feed and half-line feed. The factory de-
fault VMI value is 8. This is the same as six lines per inch.
