Esc $ N1 N2 - Citizen BD2-2220 Command Reference Manual

ESC $ n1 n2

support model
[Function] Specifying the absolute positions
[Code]
<1B>H<24>H<n1><n2>
[Range] 0≦n1≦255
0≦n2≦255
[Outline] [The specification which is common to the model]
The printing start position is specified by the absolute position from the left margin with the number
of dots divided by 256 and quotient specified as "n2" and remainder as "n1". Therefore, the printing
start position is designated as n1+n2×256×basic calculation pitch from the left margin.
[Caution] • The basic calculation pitch is set by GS P. After the line feed width is set, if the basic 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 horizontal (Paper feed direction) basic calculation
pitch (x).
• In PAGE MODE, this command acts differently depending on the start point:
(1) If the start point specified by ESC T is top right or bottom left, the command uses the vertical
(Paper feed direction) basic calculation pitch (y).
(2) If the start point specified by ESC T is top left or bottom right, the command uses the
horizontal (Perpendicular to the paper feed direction) basic calculation pitch (x). Specification
beyond the end of the line is ignored.
