Gs '\' Nl Nh Specify Relative Vertical Position In - Seiko RP-F10 Series Technical Reference

GS '\' nl nh
Code 1DH 5CH nl nh
Definition Range
Function Specifies the relative position of starting data mapping of characters in the vertical direction
based on the current position when the page mode is specified.
The relative position is [(nh × 256 + nl) × basic calculation pitch] inches.
Notes This command is ignored except when page mode is selected.
The reference current position indicates the mapping reference position of the next data.
In relation to the character, specify a positive number to specify downward from the current
position and specify a negative number to specify upward from the current position. Negative
numbers are represented by 2's complement.
Relative position specification exceeding the specified print area is ignored.
The basic calculation pitch is set by the "Set Basic Calculation Pitch" command (GS 'P').
When the calculation result is a fractional figure, it is corrected using the minimum pitch of the
printer, and the remainder is discarded.
The behavior is as follows depending on the starting point of "Select Print Direction in Page
Mode" command (ESC 'T').
(1) When the starting point is specified at "upper left" or "lower right", the relative position in
the paper feed direction (vertical direction of character) is specified. At this time, the basic
calculation pitch in the vertical direction (y) is used for calculation.
(2) When the starting point is specified at "lower left" or "upper right", the relative position in
the direction perpendicular to paper feed (vertical direction of character) is specified. At
this time, the basic calculation pitch in the horizontal direction (x) is used for calculation.
The references for mapping data to the specified print position are as shown in the table
below.
