ESC M Specify elite pitch

[ASCII] ESC M

[Decimal] 27 77

[Hexadecimal] 1B 4D

[Parameters] None

[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.
