This command is effective only processed at the beginning of the line in
standard mode.
•
If this command is input in page mode, the printer performs only internal flag
operations.
•
This command does not affect printing in page mode.
•
If the setting exceeds the printable area, the maximum value of the printable
area is used.
•
The horizontal and vertical motion units are specified by GS P . Changing the
horizontal and vertical motion unit does not affect the current left margin.
•
The horizontal motion unit (x) is used for calculating the left margin. The
calculated result is truncated to the minimum value of the mechanical pitch.
[Default] nL = 0, nH = 0

[Description] Sets the horizontal and vertical motion units to approximately 25.4/ x mm { 1/ x
inches} and approximately 25.4/ y mm {1/ y inches}, respectively.
When x and y are set to 0, the default setting of each value is used.
[Details]

The horizontal direction is perpendicular to the paper feed direction and the
vertical direction is the paper feed direction.

In standard mode, the following commands use x or y, regardless of character
rotation (upside-down or 90

clockwise rotation):
① Commands using x: ESC SP , ESC $ , ESC \ , FS S, GS L , GS W
②
Commands using y: ESC 3 , ESC J , GS V

In page mode, the following command use x or y, depending on character
orientation:
①
When the print starting position is set to the upper left or lower right of the
printing area using ESC T (data is buffered in the direction perpendicular to
the paper feed direction):
Commands using x:
ESC SP , ESC $ , ESC W , ESC \, FS S
Commands using y: ESC 3 , ESC J , ESC W , GS $ , GS \ , GS V
②
When the print starting position is set to the upper right or lower left of the
printing area using ESC T (data is buffered in the paper feed direction):
