[Notes]
1. Character pitch means the character gap or font gap when selecting font or barcode.
2. The specified character pitch will be widened based on the ratio of Enlargement <L>.
3. The character pitch command <P> maintains the parameter only in the field. However, when line feed code "CR" is specified
by auto line feed command <E>, the parameter is maintained between the fields. This is defaulted back with the data start
command <A>.
4. By specifying Character Pitch <P> just before the barcode specification, pitch command becomes valid for barcode module.
Object barcode: NW-7, CODE39, Industrial 2 of 5, and Matrix 2 of 5
For more information, see (3) Intercharacter Gap in [9 Barcode Specification].
5. Data specification except numeric value or specification of over-digit will give the initial value.
