ESC \ nL nH
[Function] Specifying the relative position
[Code] <1B>H<5C>H<nL><nH>
[Range] 0
≤nL≤255
0
≤nH≤255
[Outline] [The specification which is common to the model]
• This command specifies the next print start position in a relative position with respect to the current position.
• The next print start position will be at a point of [(nL+nH×256)×basic calculation pitch] inches away from the
current position.
[Caution] [The specification which is common to the model]
• Specification of a position outside the print area is ignored.
• If a new position is specified to the right of the current position in the direction of printing, it should be specified
as positive (+). If it is to the left, it should be as negative (–).
• A negative value is the complement of 65536. For example, to move the position by N pitches to the left,
specify it as: nL + nH x 256 = 65536 – N
• 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 horizontal 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 left or bottom right, the command specifies the relative position
in the direction perpendicular to the paper feed (The character’s side-to-side direction), using the
horizontal basic calculation pitch (x).
(2) If the start point is top right or bottom left, the command specifies the relative position in the paper feed
direction (The character’s side-to-side direction), using the vertical basic calculation pitch (y).
