with the magnification.

changed if the basic calculation pitch is changed by GS P.
• Fractions resulting from calculation are corrected with the minimum pitch of the
mechanism, and the remainder is omitted.
• In STANDARD MODE, this command uses the horizontal basic calculation pitch (x).
• In PAGE MODE, the basic calculation pitch used by this command depends on the
start point:
(1) If the start point specified by ESC T is top left or bottom right, the command uses
the horizontal basic calculation pitch (x).
(2) If the start point specified by ESC T is top right or bottom left, the command uses
the vertical basic calculation pitch (y).
• The maximum right spacing is capable of approximately 31.906 mm (255/203
inches). A setting greater than this maximum is trimmed to the maximum.
