Description
➊
This code sequence sets the character density to 10 cpi (Pica). This is also the default
character density.
➋
This code sequence sets the character density to 12 cpi (Elite).
➌
This code sequence sets the character density to 15 cpi. With this code sequence not
only the character spacing is altered, but also the size of the characters (approx. 2.3
mm high and 1 mm wide). That is why the font set with this sequence is referred to as
microfont.
All three control codes neutralise each other.
If the character spacing is changed using one of the sequences – with proportional
spacing selected this change only becomes effective when the printer leaves the
proportional mode.
