(10) Height expansion for enlarged characters: DC4 DC4 h
Format: ASCII DC4 DC4 hn

The MSB of the parameter is masked.
If n = 0, the expansion specified in the setup mode is selected.
Enlarged character cell expansion takes priority over height expansion. If
the height expansion exceeds the cell expansion when enlarged character
data is input, the characters are enlarged to the cell expansion.
The default expansion is specified in the EXTENDED SETUP MODE.
(11) HMI for enlarged characters: DC4 DC4 i
Format: ASCII DC4 DC4 i n1 n2

characters.

The HMI indicates the horizontal distance between two adjacent characters,
i.e., the width the print head moves after printing one character.
The HMI is (n1 + n2 x 256)/180”.
The high-order four bits of parameter n2 (bit 7 to bit 4) are ignored. The
HMI can be set to zero.
After specifed command have priority over DC4 DC4 p or DC4 DC4 i.
If the PITCH LOCK option is set to YES in the EXTENDED SETUP
MODE, this command is ignored.
The default setting is “10 cpi x widthwise expansion”.
