Value of
n:
To move the relative starting position right of the current position by
n
dots:
n
1 = Remainder after dividing
n
by 256
n
2 = Integer after dividing
n
by 256
The values for
n
1 and
n
2 are two bytes in low byte, high byte word orientation.
To move the relative starting position left of the current position by
n
dots:
n
1 = Remainder after dividing (65,536–
n
) by 256
n
2 = Integer after dividing (65,536–
n
) by 256
The values for
n
1 and
n
2 are two bytes in low byte, high byte word orientation.
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.
Formulas
To move to the left:
Determine the value of
n
by multiplying the number of columns to move left of the current position by 10 (slip
or receipt standard pitch) or 8 (receipt 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)
65,536–20 =
65516
65,516/256 = 255, remainder of 236
n
1 = 236,
n
2 = 255
To move to the right:
Determine the value of
n
by multiplying the number of columns to move right of the current position by 10 (slip
or receipt standard pitch) or 8 (receipt 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 left of the current position)
20/256 =
0, remainder of 20

Related information
If the set horizontal and vertical minimum motion units command (1D 50) is used to change the horizontal and vertical
minimum motion unit, the parameters of this command (set relative print position) will be interpreted accordingly. For
more information, see the description of the set horizontal and vertical minimum motion units command (1D 50) in
this document.
