  • The printer ignores any setting that exceeds the print area.
  • A positive number specifies movement to the right, and a negative number specifies movement to the left.
  • When Standard mode is selected, the horizontal motion unit is used.
  • when Page mode is selected, the horizontal or vertical motion unit is used for the print direction set by ESC T.
    • When the starting position is set to the upper left or lower right of the print area using ESC T, the horizontal motion unit is used.
    • When the starting position is set to the upper right or lower left of the print area using ESC T, the vertical motion unit is used.
  • Even if the vertical or horizontal motion unit is changed after changing the print position, the setting of the print position will not be changed.
  • When underline mode is turned on, the underline will not be printed under the space skipped by this command.
  • "\" corresponds to "¥" in the JIS code system.
