Command Name: SETI0CPIPITCH
ASCII Code:
ESCs5
Hexadecimal:
IB-73-35
Octal:
033-163-065
Function:
This command overrides the internal switch setting and sets the character spacing
to 10 cpi. Initially the character spacing is determined by internal switch setting
(see Appendix
A).
Print character spacing can be changed by software at any time
except in the middle of a line by sending the printer the appropriate command imme-
diately following the
CR/LF
from a previous line. Pitch is not changed by the
Restore attribute. At RESET TO INITIAL STATE (RIS), pitch returns to the internal
switch setting.
If characters of a different pitch are to be printed on the same line, the software
should send a CR (no LF) followed by the new pitch assignment and characters
that are properly spaced to account for previously printed characters, effectively
printing twice on the same line. Unlike the double-width attribute, the spacing is
not based on a simple character count, so great care should be taken when using
multiple pitches per line. When printing the first pass at initial pitch, printing an
80th or 132nd character will initiate an automatic line feed causing the second
pass to print on the next line.
