ESC $ n1 n2
[Function] | Specifying the absolute positions | ||
[Code] | <1B>H<24>H<n1><n2> | ||
[Range] | 0 | n1 | 255 |
| 0 | n2 | 255 |
[Outline] | The printing start position is specified with the number of dots | ||
| (1/203 inch unit) from the beginning of a line. | ||
•The number of dots is divided by 256, whose quotient is taken as “n2” and the residual as “n1”.
•Therefore, the printing start position is equal to n1 + n2 ⋅ 256 from the beginning of a line.
[Caution] | The basic calculation pitch is set by GS P. After the line feed |
| width is set, if the basic calculation by GS P leaves a fraction, |
| the fraction is corrected with the minimum pitch of the |
| mechanism, and the remainder is omitted. |
| In STANDARD MODE, this command uses the horizontal (Paper |
| feed direction) basic calculation pitch (x). |
| In PAGE MODE, this command acts differently depending on |
| the start point: |
| (1) If the start point specified by ESC T is top right or bottom |
| left, the command uses the vertical (Paper feed direction) |
| basic calculation pitch (y). |
| (2) If the start point specified by ESC T is top left or bottom |
| right , the command uses the horizontal (Perpendicular to |
| the paper feed direction) basic calculation pitch (x). |
| Specification beyond the end of the line is ignored. |
[Default] | The initial value is not defined. |
