HP 5961-0509 manual 12Interaction of Label Direction and Parameter Sign

zLines — Specifies the number of lines the pen moves relative to the current pen location. Positive values specify the number of lines the pen moves up from the current pen position; negative values specify the number of lines the pen moves down (a value of –1 is equivalent to a Line Feed). Up and down are relative to the current label direction. The Line Feed distance is uniquely defined for each font; use the Extra Space (ES) command to adjust the height.

When you move the pen up or down a specific number of lines, the Carriage Return point shifts up or down accordingly.

The illustration below shows the interaction of label direction and the sign (+/–) of the parameters.
