Commands Description
ESC [(p1);
(p2) <SP> G
LINE/CHARACTER SPACING
p1 = line spacing parameter p2 = character spacing parameter
If you select doublewide printing (ESC [5m), then the printer doubles character
spacing set by this command. If the designed pitch of the current font is 10 cpi and
doublewide is set, then a character spacing argument of 72 results in a pitch of 5 cpi,
at which horizontal segments of line-draw characters are contiguous.
Example: ESC [90;60 <sp> G
sets the vertical spacing to 8 lines per inch and the horizontal spacing to 12
characters per inch. (720 divided by 8 = 90, and 720 divided by 12 = 60).
