Function
Set Character spacing in points with adjustment.
All
ASCII
[ESC] + j <d>
Hexadecimal
1BH 2BH 6AH
Decimal
<27> <43> <106>
Range
d = 0, 16
– 255
The [ESC] + j command will set the character spacing in points, where ¼ point is defined
as 1/288
th
of an inch. This command will force mono-space printing. It will override any
character spacing set by the set character height and width commands defined above.
This spacing will be enforced until deactivated by setting the value to 0 or if the set
character height and width commands use a 0 for the width indicating proportional
spacing should be used. This command differs from the [ESC] + i command in that if the
character is too large for the cell, the cell will be expanded in multiples of <d> until the
character fits.
If d = 0 variable spacing is selected. However, note that the cell adjustment flag will
remain set and if legacy commands are used they will allow the cell to be expanded.
NOTE:
If the current character size is too large for the selected spacing,
the characters will overlap. Variable spacing is recommended.
Function
Set minimum Line Spacing in Points
All
ASCII
[ESC] + V <d>
Hexadecimal
1BH 2BH 56H
Decimal
<27> <43> <86>
Range
d = 0, 4
– 72
The [ESC] + V command will set the line spacing in points, where one point is defined as
1/72
nd
of an inch.
If d = 0 variable spacing is selected.
NOTE:
This is the minimum spacing. If the character height setting
requires a larger spacing, the character height will override this setting.
