[Outline] The printing start position is specified in the number of dots (1/203 inch unit) from the
beginning of line.
• The number of dots is divided by 256, whose quotient is taken as "n2" and the residual as
"n1."
• Therefore, the printing start position is equal to n1 + n2
[Caution] The basic calculation pitch is set by GS P.
calculation by GS P leaves a fraction, the fraction is corrected with the minimum pitch of the
mechanism, and the remainder is omitted.
In Standard mode, this command uses the vertical (paper feed direction) basic calculation
pitch (y).
In Page mode, this command acts differently depending on the start point:
