・ Moves the horizontal print position from the position where HT was entered to the next
nearest horizontal tab position to the right.
ESC $ Specify absolute horizontal position
[ASCII] ESC $ n1 n2
[Decimal] 27 36 n1 n2
[Hexadecimal] 1B 24 n1 n2
[Parameters] 0≤n1≤255 , 0≤n2≤255
[Description]
・ Specifies an absolute position in dots for the print position for the next data.
・ n1 and n2 represent the number of dots from the left margin. (No. of dots = n1 + 256 * n2)
ESC \ Specify relative horizontal position
[ASCII] ESC \ n1 n2
[Decimal] 27 92 n1 n2
[Hexadecimal] 1B 5C n1 n2
[Parameters] 0≤n1≤255, 0≤n2≤255
[Description]
・ Specifies the horizontal print position as a relative position in dots from the current position.
・ n1 and n2 represent the number of dots from the current position. (No. of dots = n1 + 256 *
n2)
・ The specified value for moving to the left is represented as a 2’s complement, and is basically
determined by the following equation.
n1 + n2 * 256 = 65536 – Actual amount moved
ESC a Specify alignment
[ASCII] ESC a n
[Decimal] 27 97 n
[Hexadecimal] 1B 61 n
[Parameters] 0 ≤ n ≤ 3 or “0” ≤ n ≤ “3”
[Description]
・ Aligns and prints the following data according to the value of n as described below.
If n=0, specifies a left alignment.
If n=1, specifies a center alignment.
If n=2, specifies a right alignment.
If n=3, nothing is applied.
・ The default setting is n=0.
