[Supplementary Explanation]
- Character pitch means the character gap or font gap when selecting font or barcode.
- Specified character pitch will be widened based on the ratio of Enlargement <L>.
- The Character Pitch <P> maintains the parameter only in the field. Even if linefeed code [CR] is
specified in Auto Linefeed <E>, the character pitch remains the same without returning to initial
value. Start of Data Transmission <A> can be used to reset to the initial value.
- By specifying Character Pitch <P> just before the barcode specification, pitch command
becomes valid for barcode module.
Object barcode: NW-7, CODE39, Industrial 2of5, Matrix 2of5
For more information, refer to “(3) Intercharacter gap” in “Barcode Command.”
- Data specification except numeric value or specification of over-digit will give the initial value.
