GS P x y

[Function]

Specifying the basic calculation pitch

[Code]

<1D>H<50>H

[Range]

0

x

255

0

y

255

[Outline]

This command sets the horizontal basic calculation pitch to
approx. 25.4/x mm (1/x inches), and the vertical basic calculation
pitch to approx. 25.4/y mm (1/y inches).

• If x = 0, the horizontal basic calculation pitch is reverted to the

default value.

• If y = 0, the vertical basic calculation pitch is reverted to the

default value.

[Caution]

• The horizontal direction is defined as the direction

perpendicular to the paper feed, and the vertical direction is
defined as the paper feed direction.

• In STANDARD MODE, the following parameters are used

regardless of the character orientation (e.g. inverted or 90°-
right-turned).

(1) Commands using x:

ESC SP, ESC $, ESC \, GS L,
GS W

(2) Commands using y:

ESC 3, ESC J, GS V

• In PAGE MODE, the parameters used depend on the character

orientation, as follows:

(1) If the start point specified by ESC T is the top left or bottom

right (The characters are mapped in the direction
perpendicular to the paper feed):

• Commands using x:

ESC SP, ESC $, ESC W, ESC \

• Commands using y:

ESC 3, ESC J, ESC W, GS $, GS \, GS V

(2) If the start point specified by ESC T is the top right or bottom

left (The characters are mapped in the paper feed direction):

• Commands using x:

ESC 3, ESC J, ESC W, GS $, GS \

• Commands using y:

ESC SP, ESC $, ESC W, ESC \, GS V

• This command does not affect any other values that are already

set.

• If calculations made in combination with another command

generate fractions, the fractions are corrected with the
minimum pitch of the mechanism, and the remainder is
omitted.

[Default]

x = 203, y = 360
