Set Relative Starting Position
Moves the print starting position the specified number of dots either right (up to the right margin) or left (up to the left margin) of the current position.
The print starting position is reset to the first column after each line.
Hex | Decimal | ASCII | Value of n |
1B 5C n1 n2 | 27 92 n1 n2 | ESC \ n1 n2 | See Examples Below |
To Move the Relative Starting Position Right of the Current Position
n = Number of dots to be moved right of the current position n1 = Remainder after dividing n by 256
n2 = Integer after dividing n by 256
The values for n1 and n2 are two bytes in low byte, high byte word orientation.
Determine the value of n by multiplying the number of columns to move right of the current position by 10 (standard pitch) or 8 (compressed pitch). The example shows how to set the relative position two columns in standard pitch (10 dots per column) to the right of the current position.
2 x 10 = 20 dots (two columns to be moved right of the current position) 20/256 = 0, remainder of 20
n1 = 20 | n2 = 0 |
To Move the Relative Starting Position Left of the Current Position
n = Number of dots to be moved left of the current position n1 = Remainder after dividing
n2 = Integer after dividing
The values for n1 and n2 are two bytes in low byte, high byte word orientation.
Determine the value of n by multiplying the number of columns to move left of the current position by 10 (standard pitch) or 8 (compressed pitch). The example shows how to set the relative position two columns in standard pitch (10 dots per column) to the left of the current position.
2 x 10 = 20 dots (two columns to be moved left of the current position)
65,516/256 = 255, remainder of 236
n1 = 236 | n2 = 255 |
