GS ¥ nL nH

[Function] Specifying the relative vertical position of a character in Page mode

[Code] <1D>H<5C>H<nL><nH>

[Range] 0

255

[Outline] This command is used in Page mode to specify the vertical position of a character

at the data mapping start position, in terms of a relative position with respect to

the current position. The next data mapping start position will be at a distance

of [(nL + nH

256)

basic calculation pitch] inches away from the current

position.

[Caution] •This command is ignored when Page mode is not selected.

•The new position to be specified for the character of interest will be positive ("+")

if it is under the current position. It will be negative ("-") if it is above the

current position.

• A negative value is the complement of 65536. For example, to move the

position by N pitches up, specify it as:

nL + nH

256 = 65536 - N

•The specification of a relative position outside the specified print area is

ignored.

•Depending on the start point specified by ESC T, this command acts as follows:

(1) If the start point is the top left or bottom right, the command specifies the

relative position in the paper feed direction (the character's top-bottom

direction) using the vertical basic calculation pitch (y).

(2) If the start point is the top right or bottom left, the command specifies the

relative position in the direction perpendicular to the paper feed (the

character's top-bottom direction) using the horizontal basic calculation

pitch (x).

•The basic calculation pitch is set by GS P.

•Fractions resulting from calculations are corrected with the minimum pitch of

the mechanism, and the remainder is omitted.
