GS $ nL nH
[Function] Specifying the absolute position of character vertical direction in PAGE MODE
[Code] <1D>H<24>H<nL><nH>
[Range] 0 nL 255, 0 nH 255
[Outline] Specifies the vertical position of character at the start point of data development in
PAGE MODE using absolute position based on the start position. The position of
vertical direction of character at the start position of next data development is the
position [(nL + nH × 256) × basic calculation pitch] from the start position.
[Caution] • This command is ignored except at PAGE MODE selection.
• Absolute position setting exceeding the specified print area is ignored.
• Position in horizontal direction of character at the start position of data development
is not shifted.
• Start point used as the reference is set by <ESC T>.
• The following operation occurs at the start point of <ESC T>.
(1) When start point is set at “upper left” or “lower right”, the absolute position of
paper feed direction (vertical direction of character) is set. In this case, basic
calculation pitch (y) of vertical direction is used.
(2) When start point is set at “upper right” or “lower left”, the absolute position of
vertical direction of paper feed (vertical direction of character) is set. In this
case, basic calculation pitch (x) of horizontal direction is used.
• Basic calculation pitch is set by <GS P>.
• When fractional number is caused by the calculation, it is corrected by the minimum
pitch of mechanism and the rest is discarded.
