-16384 ≤(mL+mH * 256)≤16383
[Description]
・
Specifies the vertical print position as a relative position from the current position.
Vertical position after movement = mL + mH * 256 + current position
・
When moving upwards, the specified value is expressed as a 2's complement. It is
determined by the following equation.
mL + mH * 256 = 65536 – amount of actual movement
・
Settings moving the print position above the top margin are ignored.
・
If a position exceeding the bottom margin is specified, printing starts.
・
With left alignment, the print position for the next line is the end position of the current
line. (The horizontal position does not move to the left margin.)
With right alignment and center alignment, the horizontal position moves to the
beginning of the line.
・
Automatic cancellation of double-width characters with SO or ESC SO is cancelled.
