•If this command is input while Standard mode is selected, the printer's internal flag operation only is executed. In this case, it has no influence on printing in the Standard mode.
•The character development position becomes the starting point within the printing area set by ESC W.
•The basic calculation pitch (x or y) used in the following commands differs ac- cording to the starting point.
(1)If the starting point is "top left" or "bottom right," (characters are developed in the direction perpendicular to the paper feed direction)
•Commands which use x: ESC SP, ESC $, ESC \
•Commands which use y: ESC 3, ESC J, GS $, GS \
(2)If the starting point is "top right" or "bottom left," (characters are developed in the paper feed direction)
•Commands which use x: ESC 3, ESC J, GS $, GS \
•Commands which use y: ESC SP, ESC $, ESC \
•The initial value is “n = 0”.
