Hex 1B 4B n

Decimal 27 75 n

[Range] 0 ≤ n ≤ 255

[Description] Prints the data in the print buffer and feeds the paper n × vertical motion unit inches

in the reverse direction

[Notes] • Sets the print starting position to the beginning of the line.

• The paper feed amount set by this command does not affect the values set by

ESC 2 or ESC 3.

• The horizontal and vertical motion units are specified by GS P.

• The GS P command can change the vertical (and horizontal) motion units.

However, the value cannot be less than the minimum vertical motion amount,

and it must be in even units of the minimum vertical motion amount.

• The maximum paper feed amount is 1016 mm {40"}. Even if a paper feed

amount of more than 1016 mm {40"} is set, the printer feeds the paper only 1016

mm {40"}.

• In standard mode for slip, the vertical motion unit (y) is used.

• In page mode for slip, this command functions as follows, depending on the

starting position of the printable area:

① When the starting position is set to the upper left or lower right of the printable

area using ESC T, the vertical motion unit (y) is used.

② When the starting position is set to the upper right or lower left of the print able

area using ESC T, the horizontal motion unit (x) is used.
