1BH 24H
<27> <36>
0 ≤ nL ≤ 255
0 ≤ nH ≤ 255
This command sets the print starting position from the beginning of the
line.
The distance in dots from the beginning of the line to the print position is
[(nL + nH × 256) × (horizontal motion unit)]. When standard mode is
selected, the horizontal motion unit set by GS P is used. When page mode
is selected, the horizontal or vertical motion unit set by GS P is used for the
print direction set by ESC T.
If nongraphics follow this command, the distance in dots from the
beginning of the line to the print position is [(nL + nH × 256) × (horizontal
motion unit)]. If graphics follow this command, the distance in dots from
the beginning of the line to the print position is [(nL+nH×256) ×
(horizontal motion unit)]/2.

1BH 5CH
<27> <92>
0 ≤ nL ≤ 255
0 ≤ nH ≤ 255
This command sets the print starting position based on the current position
and the distance from the current position to [(nL + nH × 256) × horizontal
unit]. When standard mode is selected, the horizontal motion unit set by
GS P is used. When page mode is selected, the horizontal or vertical
motion unit set by GS P is used for the print direction set by ESC T.

0 ≤ n ≤ 2, 48 ≤ n ≤ 50
This command aligns all the data in one line to the specified position n. In
standard mode, this command is enabled only when input at the beginning
of a line. In page mode, an internal flag is activated, and this command is
enabled when the printer returns to standard mode.
