GS $ nL
[Function] Specifying the absolute vertical position of characters in Page mode
[Code] <1D>H<24>H<nL><nH>
[Range] 0 nL 255
0 nH
[Outline] This command is used in Page mode to specify the vertical position of characters at the data
mapping start position as an absolute value measured from the start point. The vertical
position of a character at the next data mapping start position will be at a distance of [(nL +
nH ( 256) ( basic calculation pitch] inches away from the start point.
[Caution] • This command is ignored when Page mode is not selected.
• Any specification of absolute vertical position out of the printable area is ignored.
• The horizontal position of a character at the data mapping start position is not moved.
• The start point used as the reference is specified by ESC T.
• Depending on the start point specified by ESC T, this command acts as follows:
• The basic calculation pitch is set by GS P.
• Fractions resulting from calculations are corrected with the minimum pitch of the
mechanism, and the remainder is omitted.

(1) If the start point is the top left or bottom right, the command specifies the absolute
position in the paper feed direction (the character's top-bottom direction), using the
vertical basic calculation pitch (y).
(2) If the start point is the top right or bottom left, the command specifies the absolute
position in the direction perpendicular to the paper feed (the character's top-bottom
direction) using the horizontal basic calculation pitch (x).
