13-11. Dot By Dot Spacing
When the printer is in proportional spacing mode (See Section 14-2.), the space between characters
can be controlled by escape sequence. Spacing of I to 6 dot positions can be commanded, and by
repeating the codes, up to 128 dot positions can be accumulated.

Note: Dot By Dot spacing is functional only in proportional spacing mode. In other character
pitches, the commands are ignored.
13-12. Print Direction
The following commands allow the choice of the unidirectional and bidirectional print.

27 60
IB
3C
Bidirectional print command
ESC> (lB, 3E)H
(a) Upon the reception of this code, the unidirectional print mode is assumed.
(b) The unidirectional print mode continues until the reception of a bidirectional print command
code (ESC,
< ).
(c) If SW2-8 is closed when the printer power is turned on, the unidirectional print is assumed.
ESC
<
(lB, 3C)H
(a) Upon the reception of this code, the bidirectional print mode is assumed.
(b) The bidirectional print mode continues until the reception of a unidirectional print command
code (ESC, > ).
(c) If SW2-8 is open when the printer power is turned on, the bidirectional print is assumed.
13-13. Repeat and Addressing
