(28) Specifying Absol ute Positions (ESC $ n1 n2)
Code: [1B]h + [24]h + n1 + n2
*{0≤n1≤FF}
{0 ≤n2 ≤1} Thedat a is described with the hexadecimal code.
Specifies the printing start position in terms of the number of dots from the beginning of the line (in a n
incrementof 1/2 03 inch).
• The number of dots is divided by 256, and a quotient is assumed to be n2, and the remainder to be n1.
Therefore,the printing start position is n1 + n2 ×256 fr omthe be ginning of the line.
• Theposition specified beyond the end of the line is ignored.
(29) Specifying the relative position (ESC ¥ n1 n2)
Code : [1B]h + [5C]h + n1 + n2
*{0≤n1≤FF}
{0 ≤n2 ≤FF} Thedata is described with the hexadecimal code.
Specifies the pr inting start position in ter ms of the number of dots from the current positi on (in an
incrementof 1/2 03 inch).
• Theright direction is plus (+), and left directionis minus (–) .
• Whenspecifying N dotsin the minus (left) direction, specify with a complement of N.
– N dots= 65536 – N
• Thenumber of dots is divided by 256, and a quotient is assumed tobe n2, and the remainder to be n1.
• Theposition specified beyond the end of the line isignored.
