GS P x y<br />

[Function]<br />

Specifying <strong>the</strong> basic calculation pitch<br />

[Code]<br />

HH<br />

[Range] 0 x 255<br />

0 y 255<br />

[Outline]<br />

This command sets <strong>the</strong> horizontal basic calculation pitch to<br />

approx. 25.4/x mm (1/x inches), and <strong>the</strong> vertical basic calculation<br />

pitch to approx. 25.4/y mm (1/y inches).<br />

• If x = 0, <strong>the</strong> horizontal basic calculation pitch is reverted to <strong>the</strong><br />

default value.<br />

• If y = 0, <strong>the</strong> vertical basic calculation pitch is reverted to <strong>the</strong><br />

default value.<br />

[Caution]<br />

• The horizontal direction is defined as <strong>the</strong> direction<br />

perpendicular to <strong>the</strong> paper feed, and <strong>the</strong> vertical direction is<br />

defined as <strong>the</strong> paper feed direction.<br />

• In STANDARD MODE, <strong>the</strong> following parameters are used<br />

regardless <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> character orientation (e.g. inverted or 90°right-turned).<br />

(1) Commands using x: ESC SP, ESC $, ESC \, GS L,<br />

GS W<br />

(2) Commands using y: ESC 3, ESC J<br />

• In PAGE MODE, <strong>the</strong> parameters used depend on <strong>the</strong> character<br />

orientation, as follows:<br />

(1) If <strong>the</strong> start point specified by ESC T is <strong>the</strong> top left or bottom<br />

right (The characters are mapped in <strong>the</strong> direction<br />

perpendicular to <strong>the</strong> paper feed):<br />

• Commands using x: ESC SP, ESC $, ESC W, ESC \<br />

• Commands using y: ESC 3, ESC J, ESC W, GS $,GS \<br />

(2) If <strong>the</strong> start point specified by ESC T is <strong>the</strong> top right or bottom<br />

left (The characters are mapped in <strong>the</strong> paper feed direction):<br />

• Commands using x: ESC 3, ESC J, ESC W, GS $,GS \<br />

• Commands using y: ESC SP, ESC $, ESC W, ESC \<br />

• This command does not affect any o<strong>the</strong>r values that are<br />

already set.<br />

• If calculations made in combination with ano<strong>the</strong>r command<br />

generate fractions, <strong>the</strong> fractions are corrected with <strong>the</strong><br />

minimum pitch <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> mechanism, and <strong>the</strong> remainder is<br />

omitted.<br />

[Default] x = 203, y = 360<br />
