[Code]

<1B>H<4A>H<n>

[Range]

0 n

255

[Outline]

Prints the data held in the print buffer and feeds paper by [n

 

basic calculation pitch] inches. The beginning of the line is taken

 

as the

next print start position.

[Caution]

The line feed width can be set separately for the STANDARD

 

and PAGE MODES.

 

• This command does not affect the line feed width defined by

 

ESC 2 or ESC 3.

 

• The basic calculation pitch is set by GS P.

 

• Fractions resulting from calculation are corrected with the

 

minimum pitch of the mechanism, and the remainder is

 

omitted.

 

• In STANDARD MODE, this command uses the vertical (Paper

 

feed direction) basic calculation pitch (y).

 

• In PAGE MODE, this command acts differently depending on

 

the start point:

 

(1) If the start point specified by ESC T is top left or bottom

 

right, the command uses the vertical (Paper feed direction)

 

basic calculation pitch (y).

 

(2) If the start point specified by ESC T is top right or bottom

 

left, the command uses the horizontal (Perpendicular to the

 

paper feed direction) basic calculation pitch (x).

 

The maximum settable line feed width is 1016 mm (40 inches).

 

A setting greater than this maximum is trimmed to the

 

maximum. The beginning of the line is taken as the next print

 

start position.

[Default]

The initial value is not defined.
