Input Data Format
(12) Specifying the absolute print position (ESC $ n1 n2)
Code: [1B] h + [24] h + n1 + n2
* (0 n1 FF)
(0 n2 3) Data are expressed in Hex code.
The next printing start position is specified as an absolute position with the left margin
position as the reference. The next printing start position is [(n1 +n2 x 256) x basic
calculation pitch] inch from the left margin position.
A specification that exceeds the printing area is disregarded.
The basic calculation pitch is set by GS P.
If there is a fraction in the calculation results, it is interpolated at the mechanism's
minimum pitch. Remainders are cut off.
The horizontal basic calculation pitch (x) is used in the Standard mode.
The following operations are executed in the Page mode according to the starting
point.
(1) If the starting point is specified as "top left" or "bottom right" by ESC T, an
absolute position in a direction perpendicular to the paper feed direction (the
character's horizontal direction) is specified. The horizontal basic calculation
pitch (x) is used in calculations at this time.
(2) If the starting point is specified as "top right" or "bottom left" by ESC T, the
absolute position in the paper feed direction (the character's horizontal direc-
tion) is specified. The vertical basic calculation pitch (y) is used at this time.
(13) Specifying/Clearing the download character set (ESC % n)
Code: [1B] h + [25] h + n
* (0 n FF) Data are expressed in Hex code.
This command specifies and clears download characters.
In n, the least significant bit (n0) becomes enabled. The meaning of the least
significant bit (n0) is as follows.
n0 = 0: The download character set is cleared.
n0 = 1: The download character set is specified.
Download characters and a download bit image (GS *) cannot be defined at the
same time.
The initial value is “n0 = 0”.
