Specifications
[Description] Sets the distance from the beginning of the line to the position at which subsequent
characters are to be printed.
The distance from the beginning of the line to the print position is [(nL + nH × 256) ×
(vertical or horizontal motion unit)] inches.
[Notes] • Settings outside the specifi ed printable area are ignored.
• The horizontal and vertical motion unit are specifi ed by $1D $50.
• $1D $50 can change the horizontal (and vertical) motion unit. However, the value cannot
be less than the minimum horizontal movement amount.
• In standard mode, the horizontal motion unit (x) is used.
• If the setting is outside the printing area width, it sets the absolute print position, but the
left or right margin is set at default value.

[Range] 0 ≤ n ≤ 255
[Description] Selects or cancels the user-defi ned character set.
When the Least Signifi cant Bit (LSB) of n is 0, the user-defi ned character set is can-
celled.
When the LSB of n is 1, the user-defi ned character set is selected.
[Notes] • Only the LSB of n is applicable.
• When the user-defi ned character set is cancelled, the internal character set is automati-
cally selected.
[Default] n=0

[Description] Defi nes user-defi ned characters.
• Y specifi es the number of bytes in the vertical direction.
• C1 specifi es the beginning character code for the defi nition, and C2 specifi es the fi nal
code.
• X specifi es the number of dots in the horizontal direction.
[Notes] • The allowable character code range is from ASCII $20 (32) to $7E (126) (95 charac-
ters).
• It is possible to defi ne multiple characters for consecutive character codes. If only one
