ESC ( V Specify absolute vertical position
[ASCII] ESC ( V nL nH mL mH
[Decimal] 27 40 86 nL nH mL mH
[Hexadecimal] 1B 28 56 nL nH mL mH
[Parameters] nL=2
nH=0
0≤mL≤255
0≤mH≤127
[Description]
・ Specifies the vertical print position as an absolute position from the top margin position.
Vertical position = mL + mH * 256 + Top margin
ESC ( v Specify relative vertical position
[ASCII] ESC ( v nL nH mL mH
[Decimal] 27 40 118 nL nH mL mH
[Hexadecimal] 1B 28 76 nL nH mL mH
[Parameters] nL=2
nH=0
0 ≤ mL ≤ 255
0 ≤ mH ≤ 127
-16384 ≤ (mL+mH*256) ≤ 16383
[Description]
・ Specifies the vertical print position as a relative position from the current position.
Vertical position after movement = mL + mH * 256 + Current position
・ The specified value for moving up is represented as a 2’s complement, and is basically
determined by the following equation.
mL + mH * 256 = 65536 – Actual amount moved
