ESC \ nL nH
[Function]
Sets the print starting position based on the current position by using the horizontal or
vertical motion unit.
· This command sets the distance from the current position to [(nL + nH × 256) ×
horizontal or vertical motion unit]

[Notes]
· Any setting that exceeds the printable area is ignored.
· When pitch N is specified to the right: nL+ nH × 256 = N
When pitch N is specified to the left (the negative direction), use the complement of
65536.
When pitch N is specified to the left: nL+ nH × 256 = 65536 - N
· The print starting position moves from the current position to [N × horizontal or vertical
motion unit]
· The horizontal and vertical motion units are specified by
GS P
.
· In standard mode, the horizontal motion unit is used.
· In page mode, the horizontal or vertical motion unit differs as follows, depending on the
starting point of the printing area:
1) When the starting position is set to the upper left or lower right of the printable area
using
ESC T
, the horizontal motion unit (x) is used.
2) When the starting position is set to the upper right or lower left of the printable area
using
ESC T
, the vertical motion unit (y) is used.
