GS P x y sets the horizontal and vertical motion units to 1/x and 1/y inches, respectively. The
horizontal and vertical motion units indicate the minimum pitch used for calculating the values of
related commands (shown below). The default values are x=180 and y=360. The calculated result
when using this command with other commands is truncated to the minimum value of the
mechanical pitch (1/180 inch horizontal and 1/360 inch vertical) or an exact multiple of that
minimum value. When x and y are set to 0, the default setting of each value is used.
Commands used with the horizontal motion unit (1/x) in standard mode: ESC SP, ESC $, ESC \,
GS L, and GS W.
Commands used with the vertical motion unit (1/y ) in standard mode: ESC 3, ESC J, and GS A.
Commands used with the horizontal and vertical motion units (1/x and 1/y) in page mode (either x
or y can be used, depending on the print direction set with ESC T): ESC SP, ESC $, ESC \, ESC 3,
ESC J, ESC W, GS $, and GS \.
