[Outline]
• This command sets the horizontal basic calculation pitch to approx. 25.4/x mm (1/x
inches), and the vertical basic calculation pitch to approx. 25.4/y mm (1/y inches).
• If x = 0, the horizontal basic calculation pitch is reverted to the default value.
• If y = 0, the vertical basic calculation pitch is reverted to the default value.
[Caution]
• The horizontal direction is defined as the direction perpendicular to the paper feed,
and the vertical direction is defined as the paper feed direction.
• In STANDARD MODE, the following parameters are used regardless of the character
orientation (e.g. inverted or 90°-right-turned).
(1) Commands using x: ESC SP, ESC $, ESC
\
, FS S, GS L, GS W
(2) Commands using y: ESC 3, ESC J
• In PAGE MODE, the parameters used depend on the character orientation, as follows:
(1) If the start point specified by ESC T is the top left or bottom right (The
characters are mapped in the direction perpendicular to the paper feed):
• Commands using x: ESC SP, ESC $, ESC W, ESC
\
, FS S
• Commands using y: ESC 3, ESC J, ESC W, GS $, GS
\
(2) If the start point specified by ESC T is the top right or bottom left (The
characters are mapped in the paper feed direction):
• Commands using x: ESC 3, ESC J, ESC W, GS $, GS
\
• Commands using y: ESC SP, ESC $, ESC W, ESC
\
, FS S
• This command does not affect any other values that are already set.
• If calculations made in combination with another command generate fractions, the
fractions are corrected with the minimum pitch of the mechanism, and the remainder
is omitted.
