Sets the character spacing for the right side of the character to [n × horizontal or vertical
motion units] inches.
The horizontal and vertical motion units are specified by GS P.
Without setting right-side character spacing, only changing the horizontal or vertical
motion unit does not affect the current right-side spacing.
The right-side character spacing for double-width mode is twice the normal value.
When characters are enlarged, the right-side character spacing is enlarged
accordingly.
This command sets values independently in each mode (standard and page modes).
In standard mode, the horizontal motion unit is used.
In page mode, the horizontal or vertical motion unit is specified depending on starting
position of the printable area as follows:
1 When the starting position is set to the upper left or lower right of the printable
area using ESC T, the horizontal motion unit (x) is used.
2 When the starting position is set to the upper right or lower left of the printable
area using ESC T, the vertical motion unit (y) is used.
For 300DPI printers, the maximum right-side spacing is 288/305 inches. Any setting
exceeding the maximum is converted to the maximum automatically.
For 203DPI printers, the maximum right-side spacing is 288/203 inches. Any setting
exceeding the maximum is converted to the maximum automatically.
