GS $ nL nH


[Name]	Set absolute vertical print position in page mode
[Format]	ASCII		GS	$	nL	nH
	Hex		1D	24	nL	nH
	Decimal		29	36	nL	nH
[Range]	0 ≤ nL ≤		255, 0 ≤	nH ≤ 255
[Description]	•	Sets the absolute vertical print starting position for buffer character data in page mode.
	•	This command sets the absolute print position to [(nL + nH ⋅ 256) ⋅ (vertical or horizontal
		motion unit)].
[Details]	•	This command is effective only in page mode.
	•	If the [(nL + nH ⋅ 256) ⋅			(vertical or horizontal motion unit)] exceeds the specified printing area,
		this command is ignored.
	•	The horizontal starting buffer position does not move.
	•	The reference starting position is that specified by ESC T.
	•	This command operates as follows, depending on the starting position of the printing area
		specified by ESC T:

①When the starting position is set to the upper left or lower right, this command sets the absolute position in the vertical direction.

②When the starting position is set to the upper right or lower left, this command sets the absolute position in the horizontal direction.

•The horizontal and vertical motion unit are specified by GS P.

•The GS P command can change the horizontal and vertical motion unit. However, the value cannot be less than the minimum horizontal movement amount, and it must be in even units of the minimum horizontal movement amount.
