Chapter 1 EPSON/IBM Commands 27 260071 ‐ 001A
ESC SP
Sets intercharacter space. (EPSON)
ASCII Code
ESC SP™ n
Hexadecimal Value X'1B' X'20' n
Decimal Value 27 32 n
Range 0 = n = 225
This command sets the intercharacter space to n/120 inch in Draft printing and n/180 inch in Quality
printing.
ESC X
Sets left and right margins. (IBM)
ASCII Code
ESC X n1 n2
Hexadecimal Value X'1B' X'58' n1 n2
Decimal Value 27 88 n1 n2
Range 0 = n = 134 (left margin)
2 = n = 136 (right margin)
This command sets the left and right margins at the same time. The n1 and n2 parameters indicate
respectively the number of columns for the left and right margins at the current spacing. These margins
are retained in terms of absolute displacement from the physical left edge of the page. Use a CR
immediately after ESC X n to establish the print head position relative to the new margin setting.
If n1 is equal to 0, the current left margin of the page is used. If n2 is equal to 1, the current right margin of
the page is used. The left margin value must be less than the right margin value. The right margin value
must not exceed the physical right edge of the paper; otherwise the maximum acceptable value for the
right margin will be set.
