For example, if you are printing at 10 cpi and want to set the character spacing at 11/120", use
this BASIC command:
LPRINT CHR$(@7);"N";CHR$(8)

Use this command to set the character spacing in LQ and Utility modes to any value from
1/360" up to 3".
Parameters L
p
and H
p
Parameters L
p
and H
p
can have any value from 0 to 255 decimal and are used to designate the
Horizontal Motion Index (HMI) according to the following equation:
HMI (inches) = [L
p
+ (H
p
x 256)] ÷ 360
If the HMI value is set to greater than 3":
•
ML390 Turbo and ML391 Turbo printers will ignore the command
•
ML590and ML591 printers will use 1/10" spacing.
