Set character spacing ........

ESC P

1B 50

27 80

This sequence sets character spacing/character cell size

to 10 or 17.1 CPI

to 10 characters per inch. If condensed printing is on, this
sequence sets character spacing and character cell size to
17.1 chracters per inch.

Note: This sequence is not supported when the IBM
XL24 emulation is active.

ESC SI

1B 0F

This sequence starts condensed printing, wherein
character spacing/character cell size are 17.1 characters
per inch. A DC2 code ends condensed printing.

Set intercharacter space ...

ESC SP n

1B 20 n

27 32 n

This sequence sets the amount of space for the printer to
add to the right of each character in addition to the space
already allowed in the design of the character. The value
of variable n defines the number of units to add. The size
depends on the current print quality/character spacing:

Quality

Character Spacing (CPI)

Unit Size

Letter and

10, 12, 13.3, 15 & proportional ... 1/180 inch

memo

17.1, 20 & prop. condensed ........ 1/360 inch

Draft

10, 12, 13.3, 15 & proportional ... 1/120 inch
17.1, 20, & prop. condensed ....... 1/240 inch

For example, to add 1/4 inch to the right of each character
in letter-quality at 10 cpi, variable n would be 45 decimal
(1/4 inch = 45 x 1/180 inch).
