If Units is in millimeters, the offset value range is 0 to 0.625 mm.
Be sure to issue a ! U1 SETBOLD 0 command to turn the bolding off
when done.
! U1 SETBOLD 2
This text is in bold ! U1 SETBOLD 0
but this text is normal.
Spreading out characters on a line makes the font appear wider. You can
also use the SETSP command to spread out the text across the line.
! U1 SETSP {unit to separate characters}
For example, ! U1 SETSP 5 puts five dots between each character on the
line. Try this command to make fonts look larger for emphasis. Note that
this command is affected by the Units command setting. You can set this
space from 0 to 255 dots.
Normal Text ! U1 SETSP 5

The printer lets you control both the width and height of the page through
use of the Page-Width and Page-Height commands. The PL4 printers, for
example, take any size stock up to 4 inches wide. If the stock is 3 inches
wide, use the Page-Width, or PW, command.
! U1 PW {unit width}
If the size of the receipts should remain constant and the paper stock does
not have a black bar to denote the top of form, use the Page-Height, or
PH, command. The printer then partitions the data you send into fixed
page sizes.
! U1 PH {unit height}
