Brother TD-4100N - Manual (Page 49)

ESC $ Specify absolute horizontal position
[ASCII] ESC $ n1 n2
[Decimal] 27 36 n1 n2
[Hexadecimal] 1B 24 n1 n2
[Parameters] 0≤n1≤255 ,0≤n2≤255
[Description]
・ Specifies in dots the absolute print position for the next data.
・ An absolute print position specifies the next print position as the number of dots from
the left margin.
・ n1 and n2 indicate the number of dots from the left margin. (Number of dots = n1 +
256*n2)
・ The dot spacing is calculated as 1/300 inch.
・ The maximum number of dots that can be specified with n1 and n2 depends on the
media.
・ This command is available only with left alignment.
ESC \ Specify relative horizontal position
[ASCII] ESC \ n1 n2
[Decimal] 27 92 n1 n2
[Hexadecimal] 1B 5C n1 n2
[Parameters] 0≤n1≤255,0≤n2≤255
[Description]
・ Specifies in dots the horizontal print position as a relative position from the current
position.
・ A relative position specifies the next print position as the number of dots from the
current position.
・ n1 and n2 indicate the number of dots from the current position. (Number of dots = n1 +
256*n2)
・ The dot spacing is calculated as 1/300 inch.
・ Left margin position ≤ horizontal position after moving < right margin position
Horizontal position after moving = n1 + n2*256
・ The specified value for moving to the left is expressed as the 2's complement. It is
determined by the following equation.
n1 + n2 * 256 = 65536 - distance of actual movement
