specified by the Select printing direction/position command (X'1B;54...'). If
the print position is bottom-to-top, or top-to-bottom, this command adjusts
the print position in the vertical direction.

the print position outside the printable area specified by the Select
printable area command, it is ignored.

EIA-232 Syntax:
ESC <5C>h n1 n2 or X'1B;5C;n1;n2'
where:
v n1 is the high-order byte of the dot offset, relative to the left margin in
standard mode or the current print position in page mode.
v n2 is the low-order byte of the dot offset, relative to the left margin in
standard mode or the current print position in page mode.
default:
n1 =0,n2 =0
Remarks:
v In the thermal station, 1 mm = 8 dots.
v In the impact station, 1 inch = 150 half-dots (75 dots).
v n1 and n2 are hex values. To get the decimal equivalent, convert each to
decimal, and then use this formula: (n1 x 256) + n2..
v To move the position to the left, use a negative number.
v If this number plus the left margin exceeds the printable area, the
command is ignored.
v In the CR station, this number is rounded back to factor of 8. See the Set
left margin position command for more information.
v When printing in page mode, this is a one-time adjustment on the current
line. If this command moves the current print position outside the
printable area defined by the Select printable area command, the
command is ignored.

GS ] xyor X'1D;5D;x;y'
where:
v x is the two-byte horizontal position, with respect to the paper, regardless
of printing direction.
v y is the two-byte vertical position, with respect to the paper, regardless of
printing direction.
Remarks:
v This command allows complete control of the printing position with a
single command.
v If either parameter is outside the printable area defined by the Select
printable area command, the command is ignored.
