[Name] Set horizontal and vertical motion units
[Format] ASCII GS P x y
Hex 1D 50 x y
Decimal 29 80 x y
[Range] 0 £ x £ 255
0 £ y £ 255
[Description] Sets the horizontal and vertical motion units to approximately 25.4/ x mm { 1/ x
inches} and approximately 25.4/ y mm {1/ y inches}, respectively.
When x and y are set to 0, the default setting of each value is used.
[Details] · The horizontal direction is perpendicular to the paper feed direction and the
vertical direction is the paper feed direction.
· In standard mode, the following commands use x or y, regardless of character
rotation (upside-down or 90° clockwise rotation):
①Commands using x: ESC SP, ESC $, ESC \, FS S, GS L, GS W
②Commands using y: ESC 3, ESC J, GS V
· In page mode, the following command use x or y, depending on character
orientation:
①When the print starting position is set to the upper left or lower right of the
printing area using ESC T (data is buffered in the direction perpendicular to
the paper feed direction):
Commands using x: ESC SP, ESC $, ESC W, ESC \, FS S
Commands using y: ESC 3, ESC J, ESC W, GS $, GS \, GS V
②When the print starting position is set to the upper right or lower left of the
printing area using ESC T (data is buffered 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 \,FS S, GS V
· The command does not affect the previously specified values.
· The calculated result from combining this command with others is truncated to
the minimum value of the mechanical pitch.
[Default] x = 180, y = 360
