Description:
Moves the print starting position to (n

+ n
H
* 256) × (horizontal or vertical
motion unit) from the current position.
Notes:
• The printer ignores any setting that exceeds the printing area.
• A positive number specifies movement to the right, and a negative
number specifies movement to the left. N pitch movement to the right:
(n
L
+ n
H
* 256) = N. Use the complement of N for setting N pitch
movement to the left: (n
L
+ n
H
* 256) = 65536 – N.
• When standard mode is selected, the horizontal motion unit is used.
• When page mode is selected, the horizontal or vertical motion unit is
used for the print direction set by ESC T.
• When the starting position is set to the upper left or lower right of the
printing area using ESC T, the horizontal motion unit is used.
• When the starting position is set to the upper right or lower left of the
printing area using ESC T, the vertical motion unit is used.
• Even if the vertical or horizontal motion unit is changed after changing
the printing position, the setting of the printing position will not be
changed.
• When underline mode is turned on, the underline will not be printed
under the space skipped by this command.
• The vertical or horizontal motion unit is specified by GS P.
• After command, printer is not at start of line, independent from given
