ESC/P Command Reference 3.2.2 Character pitches Pitch refers to the spacing between neighboring characters. When characters are arranged with a fixed pitch, they will be evenly spaced. If characters extend over several lines, they will align in straight rows. a b c a b c Fixed spacing Fixed spacing When characters are arranged with a proportional pitch, the spacing will vary depending on the character. (For example, "W" is wide but "I" is narrow.) As a result, the excess space between characters is eliminated and the text appears more compact. IW C I W C Variable spacing Variable spacing If a fixed pitch is applied to a font that is better with a proportional pitch, all characters are given the same width as the widest character in the font. IW C I WC Variable spacing Fixed spacing I W C I W C Variable spacing Fixed spacing This makes it possible to evenly space the characters of a proportional-pitch font without having to change the font. If a proportional pitch is applied to a font that is better with a fixed pitch, all characters are given the same width, appearing the same as with a fixed pitch. - 14 - 3. ESC/P Command Limitations
