is equal to 1, the subsequent data is printed in proportional mode. If the n parameter is equal to 0,
proportional mode is reset. If the any horizontal spacing command is sent to the printer when the
proportional printing is set, the command is stored and activated as soon as the proportional printing is
reset.
