Function:
– Switching on proportional spacing
ESC p (1) switches proportional spacing on. With proportional spacing the
character layout is based on the character size 10 cpi. The character width
of the individual characters is however different, for example, the width of the
character 'i' is smaller than that of the character 'w'. In normal print all the
characters have the same width, whereby irregular spaces arise between
the individual characters of a word.

Switching off proportional spacing
ESC p (0) switches proportional spacing off.
– After switching on or initializing (ESC @) the printer, proportional
i
spacing is possible, if it has been set in the emulation menu.
– ESC p (1) switches automatically to LQ print quality.
Example:
BEGIN
PRINT("This line is not printed with proportional ")
PRINTLF("spacing")
PRINT(char(27),"p",char(1))
PRINTLF("This line is printed with proportional ")
PRINTLF("spacing")
END
Result (reduced in size):
