command:

Finally, you can move a number of dots down from the top edge of the page,
or you can move a number of dots up or down from the current print position.
To move theprintposition up ordown an absoluteorrelative number of dots,

in which for n you put either the absolute number of dots down, or (preceded
by a + or sign) the relative number of dots up or down from the current

So to move 20 dots down you send the command:
<ESC> *p 20Y
And to move 20 dots up you send:
<ESC> *p –20Y
4.4.10 Combining move commands
One thing about moving the print position with the above commands isthat
they let you think of your page in terms of Cartesian coordinates.
All we mean isthat you can combinehorizontal and vertical movements that
use the same units. If you send this command,
<ESC> *p 40x 20Y
the print position will move to a spot 40 dots from the left edge of the page
and 20 dots down from the top edge.
