[Function]

 

Specifying the absolute vertical position of characters in Page mode

[Code]

 

<1D>H<24>H<nL><nH>

[Range]

 

0 nL 255

 

 

 

0 nH 255

[Outline]

 

This command is used in Page mode to specify the vertical position of characters at the data

 

 

 

mapping start position as an absolute value measured from the start point. The vertical

 

 

 

position of a character at the next data mapping start position will be at a distance of [(nL +

 

 

 

nH ( 256) ( basic calculation pitch] inches away from the start point.

[Caution]

 

• This command is ignored when Page mode is not selected.

 

 

 

• Any specification of absolute vertical position out of the printable area is ignored.

 

 

 

• The horizontal position of a character at the data mapping start position is not moved.

 

 

 

• The start point used as the reference is specified by ESC T.

 

 

 

• Depending on the start point specified by ESC T, this command acts as follows:

 

 

 

(1)

If the start point is the top left or bottom right, the command specifies the absolute

 

 

 

 

position in the paper feed direction (the character's top-bottom direction), using the

 

 

 

 

vertical basic calculation pitch (y).

 

 

 

(2)

If the start point is the top right or bottom left, the command specifies the absolute

 

 

 

 

position in the direction perpendicular to the paper feed (the character's top-bottom

 

 

 

 

direction) using the horizontal basic calculation pitch (x).

 

 

 

• The basic calculation pitch is set by GS P.

 

 

 

• Fractions resulting from calculations are corrected with the minimum pitch of the

 

 

 

mechanism, and the remainder is omitted.
