ESC ¥ nL nH
[Function] Specifying the relative position
[Code] <1B> H <5C> H <nL><nH>
[Range] 0 ≤ nL ≤ 255
0 ≤ nH ≤ 255
[Outline] This command specifies the start position for the next print in terms of a relative position
with respect to the current position. The start position for the next print will be at a distance
of [(nL + nH × 256) × basic calculation pitch] inches away the current position.
[Caution] • Specification of a position outside the print area is ignored.
• The new position to be specified for the character of interest will be positive ("+") if it is to
the right of the current position. It will be negative ("-") if it is to the left of the current
position.
• A negative value is the complement of 65536. For example, to move the position by N
pitches to the left, specify it as:
nL + nH × 256 = 63356 - N
• The basic calculation pitch is set by GS P.
• Fractions resulting from calculation are corrected with the minimum pitch of the
mechanism, and the remainder is omitted.
• In Standard mode, this command uses the horizontal basic calculation pitch (x).
• 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 specifies
the relative position in the direction perpendicular to the paper feed (the character’s
side-to-side direction), using the horizontal basic calculation pitch (x).
(2) If the start point is top right or bottom left, the command specifies the relative position
in the paper feed direction (the character’s side-to-side direction), using the vertical
basic calculation pitch (y).
