[Description]
・
Prints subsequent data with elite pitch (12 characters/inch).
・
Character width is 25 dots (=300 dots/12 characters).
・
If the character width is 25 dots or less, the character spacing is set to 25 minus the
character width.
・
If the character width exceeds 25 dots, character spacing is set to character width.
(Character spacing is 0 dot.)
In this case, the pitch does not exactly equal the pica pitch.
・
With double-width characters, the character spacing is doubled (50 dots).
・
With half-width characters, the character spacing is reduced to 13 dots.
・
When the character spacing is changed with ESC SP, the setting is updated.
・
This command is invalid when proportional pitch is selected.
・
In out-line fonts, the space between character is 0 dot.
