ESC $ n1 n2
[Function] Specifying the absolute positions
[Code] <1B> H <24> H < n1> <n2>
[Range] 0 ≤ n1 ≤ 255
0 ≤ n2 ≤ 1
[Outline] The printing start position is specified in the number of dots (1/203 inch unit) from the
beginning of line.
• The number of dots is divided by 256, whose quotient is taken as "n2" and the residual as
"n1."
• Therefore, the printing start position is equal to n1 + n2 × 256 from the beginning of line.
[Caution] The basic calculation pitch is set by GS P. After the line feed width is set, if the basic
calculation by GS P leaves a fraction, the fraction is corrected with the minimum pitch of the
mechanism, and the remainder is omitted.
In Standard mode, this command uses the vertical (paper feed direction) basic calculation
pitch (y).
In Page mode, this command acts differently depending on the start point:
(1) If the start point specified by ESC T is top left or bottom right, the command uses the
vertical (paper feed direction) basic calculation pitch (y).
(2) If the start point specified by ESC T is top right or bottom left, the command uses the
horizontal (perpendicular to the paper feed direction) basic calculation pitch (x).
Specification beyond the end of the line is ignored.
[Default] The initial value is not specified.
