GS $ nL nH

[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 point [(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 print 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.
