Sets the absolute vertical print starting position for buffer character data in

Page Mode.

The vertical or horizontal motion unit for the paper roll is used and the

horizontal starting buffer position does not move.

The reference starting position is set by Select Print Direction in Page Mode

(1B 54). This sets the absolute position in the vertical direction when the starting

position is set to the upper left or lower right; and sets the absolute position in the

horizontal direction when the starting position is set to the upper right or lower

left. The horizontal and vertical motion unit are specified by the Set Horizontal

and Vertical Minimum Motion Units (1D 50) command.

The Set Horizontal and Vertical Minimum Motion Units (1D 50) command can be

used to change the horizontal and vertical motion unit. However, the value

cannot be less than the minimum horizontal movement amount, and it must be in

even units of the minimum horizontal movement amount.

Exceptions:

This command is effective only in Page Mode.

If the [(

x 256) x (vertical or horizontal motion unit)] exceeds the specified

printing area, this command is ignored.
