(57) Setting the basic calculation pitch (GS P x y)
Code: [1D] h + [50] h + x + y
* (0 x FF)
(0 y FF) Data are expressed in Hex code.
This command sets the basic calculation pitch in the horizontal direction at (1/x) inch
and the basic calculation pitch in the vertical direction at (1/y) inch.
When x = 0, the horizontal basic calculation pitch returns to the initial value.
When y = 0, the vertical basic calculation pitch returns to the initial value.
The vertical direction indicates the direction perpendicular to the paper feed direc-
tion, and the vertical direction indicates the paper feed direction.
In the Standard mode, the parameters shown below are used without relationship
to the characters' direction (inverted, rotated 90 degrees to the right, etc.).
(1) Commands using x: ESC SP, ESC $, ESC \, FS S, GS L, GS W
(2) Commands using y: ESC 3, ESC J
In the Page mode, the parameters shown below are used according to the charac-
ters' direction.
(1) If the starting point is “top left” or “bottom right” by ESC T, (characters are
developed in the direction perpendicular to the paper feed direction),
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 starting point is “bottom right” or “top left,” (characters are developed 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
Even when this command is executed, it has no influence on the various values
that are already set.
If there is a fraction as a result of calculations combined with other commands,
interpolation is carried out at the mechanism's minimum pitch and remainders are
cut off.
The initial values are “x = 203” and “y = 203”.
