FUNCTION
CODE <ESC> <GS> "A"
1B
HEX
Sets the absolute position based on the left margin position for
REMARKS
starting the next printing.
0 n1, n2
The start of the next printing is the (n1 + n2 256 dot) position from
the left margin position.

Relative position setting

FUNCTION
<ESC> <GS> "R"
CODE
1B
HEX
Sets the relative position based on the current position for starting
REMARKS
the next printing.
0 n1, n2
The start of the next printing is the (n1 + n2 256 dot) position from
the current position.
1. Settings that exceed the printing area are ignored.
2. When set in the right direction from the current position with
regard to the character direction, this specifies positive inte-
gers and when set in the left direction, this specifies negative
integers.
3. Negative integers are shown with the compliment 65536.
For example, if moving N pitches in the left direction:
n1 + n2
n1
1D 41 n1
255
n1
1D 52 n1

256 = 65536 – N.
