Look in Chapter “Programming the Printer, Character appearance” for a description of both
pitches.
This command and the select print modes command (1B 21
n ) affect pitch selection.
This is ignored in LEGACY emulation and the parameter byte goes into the print buffer.

Default: 0
The units of horizontal and vertical motion are specified by the set horizontal and vertical
minimum motion units (1D 50 …) command. Changes in the horizontal or vertical units do not
affect the current right side character spacing. When the horizontal or vertical motion unit is
changed by the set horizontal and vertical minimum motion units (1D 50 …) command the value
must be in even units and not less than the minimum amount of horizontal movement.
In standard mode the horizontal motion unit is used.
In page mode the horizontal or vertical motion unit differs and depends on the starting position of
the printable area. When the starting printing position is the upper left or lower right of the
printable area (set by select print direction in page mode, 1B 54 n) the horizontal motion unit (x) is
