Tally Genicom Matrix Printer manual Vertical Position Relative, Vertical Position Backwards

Commands	Description
ESC [(p)e	VERTICAL POSITION RELATIVE
	Advances paper p decipoints. This command enables printing below the bottom
	margin of the current form and above the top margin of the following form. The
	example below advances the paper 4 1/4 inches.
	Example: ESC [3060e

ESC [(p)k	VERTICAL POSITION BACKWARDS
	Moves the vertical position backwards to (p) decipoints above the current position.
	The horizontal position does not change.
	If the target position is above the top margin, then the vertical position is the top
	margin. If no top margin is set, and the target position is above top-of-form, then the
	vertical position is top-of-form.
	NOTE: The printer economizes vertical motion with vertical logic seeking, so this
	command may cause reverse paper motion in some instances and not in others.
	Reverse paper motion can cause problems with some forms.
	Example: ESC [1080k moves the vertical position up by 1.5 inches.

ESC [(p)d	VERTICAL POSITION ABSOLUTE
	Moves the current print position to p decipoints from the top of the form.
	The following example advances the paper to 2 inches below top of form.
	Example: ESC [1440d

ESC[(p1);

(p2)f

VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL POSITION ABSOLUTE

Moves the print position to any coordinate on the page. Coordinates are measured in decipoints. Parameter p1 is the vertical coordinate, which is measured from the top print reference. Parameter p2 is the horizontal coordinate, which is measured from the left print reference. The computation of absolute positions is not influenced by margin settings. Top and left print references are adjustable from the control panel.

You can print characters beyond the left, top, and bottom margin setting, but no printing is allowed beyond the right margin.

EXAMPLE: ESC [1440;2160f

Prints the next character 2 inches from the top print reference and 3 inches from the left print reference.
