Name Dec Hex Description ESC DLE @ 27 16 64 pN 1B 10 40 pN Set Multiple Print Positions a1 a2 p1 p2 a1 a2 p1 p2 Moves the print position to the right or left, as an p3 p4 p3 p4 absolute or relative print position. pN=0 to 127 a1=0 (absolute print position) a1=1 (relative print position) a2=0 (move to the left (backward)) a2=1 (move to the right (forward)) The character pitch determines the distance represented by the tab (distance from the center of one dot to the center of the next dot). Pitch Shift Increment 10 cpi 1/120 12 cpi 1/144 15 cpi 1/360 17.1 cpi 1/411 20 cpi 1/480 The values for p1, p2, p3 and p4 must be entered as four-digit ASCII numbers (use leading zeros if necessary), separated by commas, and in ascending order. To calculate the value, multiply the position for which you want to set a tab by the pitch increment of shift, and then subtract one from the product. For example, to set a tab for 2" from the left margin using 12 cpi pitch, multiply 2 by 144, and then subtract 1. The value would be 0287.
