ESC GS P 5 nL nH [Name] Specify character vertical direction relative position in page mode [Code] ASCII ESC GS P 5 Hexadecima 1B 1D 50 35 l Decimal 27 29 80 53 [Defined Area] [Initial Value] [Function] 0 ≤ nL ≤ 255, 0 ≤ nH ≤ 255 - - Specify the position for character vertical direction of the data expansion starting position in page mode with the relative position that uses the current position as a reference. The subsequent data expansion starting position uses the position moved [(nL + nH x 256) x 1/8] mm from the current position. • This command is ignored when page mode is not selected. • When specifying the characters downward from the current position the value is positive (plus); when specifying upward, the value is negative (minus). • Negative numbers are represented by a complement of 65536. For example, use the following to move upward N pitches. nL + nH x 256 = 65536-N • Relative position specifications that exceed the specified print region are ignored. • The following operations will occur depending on the ESC GS P 2 (select character print direction in page mode). a. When the starting point is "upper left" or "bottom right," specify the absolute position of the paper feed direction. b. When the starting point is "upper right" or "bottom left," specify the relative position of the perpendicular direction to the paper feed. • If the calculated results is a fraction, that is corrected to the minimum mechanical pitch and excess is discarded.
