Specifying the relative position/ESC ¥
[ASCII]
ESC ¥ n1 n2
[Decimal] 27 92 n1 n2
[Hexadecimal] 1B 5C n1 n2
[Parameter] 0
≤ n1 ≤ 255, 0 ≤ n2 ≤ 255
[Description]
● Specifies the print start position of the next data as a relative position in dots.
● ‘To specify by a relative position’ means to specify the next print start position by the number of given rightward or
leftward dots, based on the print position immediately before this code.
● The number of dots is calculated on a 1/203 inch basis. ‘n1’ and ‘n2’ indicate the number of dots from a print position
used as the reference. Specify leftward moving with two’s complement.
Number of dots = n1 + 256 × n2
− 1440 ≤ (n1 + 256 × n2) ≤ 1440
● The number of dots and the values of ‘n1’ and ‘n2’ correspond as follows. (The values of ‘n1’ and ‘n2’ in the table are in
hexadecimal.))
