x, y: different depending on the printers

[Description]

Sets the horizontal and vertical motion units to approximately 25.4/x mm {1/x"} and approximately 25.4/y mm {1/y"}, respectively.
  • When x = 0, the default value of the horizontal motion unit is used.
  • When y = 0, the default value of the vertical motion unit is used.

[Notes]

  • The horizontal and vertical motion units indicate the minimum pitch used for calculating the values of related commands.
  • The horizontal direction is perpendicular to the paper feed direction and the vertical direction is the paper feed direction.
  • In Standard mode, the following commands use x or y.
  • in Page mode, the following commands use x or y, when the starting position is set to the upper left or lower right of the print area using ESC T.
  • in Page mode, the following commands use x or y, when the starting position is set to the upper right or lower left of the print area using ESC T.
  • Setting of this command is effective until ESC @ is executed, the printer is reset, or the power is turned off.
  • The calculated result from combining this command with others is truncated to the minimum value of the mechanical pitch.
  • This command does not affect the current setting values.
