Set Absolute Vertical Print Position in Page Mode

Sets the absolute vertical print starting position for buffer character data in page mode.
The absolute print position is set to [(nL + nH X 256) x (vertical or horizontal motion
unit)] inches.

The vertical or horizontal motion unit for the paper roll is used and the horizontal
starting buffer position does not move.

The reference starting position is set by Select Print Direction in Page Mode (ESC T) and
operates setting the absolute position in the vertical direction when the starting position
is set to the upper left or lower right; and sets the absolute position in the horizontal
when the starting position is set to the upper rights or lower left. The horizontal and
vertical motion unit are specified by the Set Horizontal and Vertical Minimum Motion
Units (GS P) command.

The Set Horizontal and Vertical Minimum Motion Units (GS P) command can be used
to change the horizontal and vertical motion unit. However, the value cannot be less
than the minimum horizontal movement amount, and it must be in even units of the
minimum horizontal movement amount.
