Commands Description
ESC [(p)e VERTICAL POSITION RELATIVE
Advances paper p decipoints. This command enables printing below the bottom
margin of the current form and above the top margin of the following form. The
example below advances the paper 4 1/4 inches.
Example: ESC [3060e

ESC [(p)k VERTICAL POSITION BACKWARDS
Moves the vertical position backwards to (p) decipoints above the current position.
The horizontal position does not change.
If the target position is above the top margin, then the vertical position is the top
margin. If no top margin is set, and the target position is above top-of-form, then the
vertical position is top-of-form.
NOTE: The printer economizes vertical motion with vertical logic seeking, so this
command may cause reverse paper motion in some instances and not in others.
Reverse paper motion can cause problems with some forms.
Example: ESC [1080k moves the vertical position up by 1.5 inches.

ESC [(p)d VERTICAL POSITION ABSOLUTE
Moves the current print position to p decipoints from the top of the form.
The following example advances the paper to 2 inches below top of form.
Example: ESC [1440d

ESC[(p1);
(p2)f VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL POSITION ABSOLUTE
Moves the print position to any coordinate on the page. Coordinates are measured
in decipoints. Parameter p1 is the vertical coordinate, which is measured from the
top print reference. Parameter p2 is the horizontal coordinate, which is measured
from the left print reference. The computation of absolute positions is not influenced
by margin settings. Top and left print references are adjustable from the control
panel.
You can print characters beyond the left, top, and bottom margin setting, but no
printing is allowed beyond the right margin.
EXAMPLE: ESC [1440;2160f
Prints the next character 2 inches from the top print reference and 3 inches from the
left print reference.
