The standard commands for character pitch on an Okidata Microline printer (ML 320/321) are:
10 cpi - chr(30)
12 cpi - chr(28)
15 cpi - chr(27) + chr(103)
17.1 cpi - chr(29)
20 cpi - chr(27) + chr(35) + chr(51)

The command strings are different if the printer is running in Epson FX or IBM Proprinter emulation mode. If you are using one of those let me know.
