Relative Horizontal Step

Data Structure
ASCII
hex.
dec.
Description This code sequence moves the print head to a relative print position without regard to the
current character density. This print position is calculated according to the formula
+ 256 ∗ n
(n

Calculation of the values of n
the movement is directed towards the left side, the result is subtracted from 65536. Sub-
sequently the values for n

If the print position exceeds the currently set margins after execution of the horizontal
step, this code sequence is ignored.
This code sequence can be used in all print qualities (DPQ, NLQ, LQ).
Example for calculating n
