Print head movement BS Backspace Format: ASCII code: BS Decimal: 8 Hexadecimal: 08 Comments: Prints out data in the print buffer, then moves the print position one space to the left. Backspacing can be performed up to, but not beyond, the left margin setting. The BS code is also ignored if ESC a 2, or 3 has been sent. In Epson mode, if this code is received immediately after graphics printing, the print position of subsequent data is moved back to the point at which graphics printing started. ESC $ Set Absolute Print Position Format: ASCII code: ESC $ n1 n2 Decimal: 27 36 n1 n2 Hexadecimal: 1 B 24 n1 n2 Comments: This sequence specifies the distance from the currently set left margin that subsequent characters are to be printed, using this formula: total number of dots = n1 + (n2 x 256). Each unit equals 1/60th of an inch. The sequence is ignored and the previous setting remains effective if the position specified is beyond the right margin. Command Summary A-19
