Prints the first character of the next print line in column n. It must be sent for each line not printed at column one. The 
value of n is set to one after each line.

This command cannot be used with single- or double-density graphics.

Value of n: 

n =   Number of dots to be moved from the beginning of the line. 

 

n1 =  Remainder after dividing n by 256. 

n2 =  Integer after dividing n by 256.

The values for n1 and n2 are two bytes in low byte, high byte word orientation.

Sets the print starting position to the specified number of dots (up to the right margin) from the beginning of the line. 
The print starting position is reset to the first column after each line.

Determine the value of n by multiplying the column for the absolute starting position by 10 (slip, or receipt standard 
pitch) or 8 (receipt compressed pitch). The example shows how to calculate column 29 (10 dots per column) as the 
absolute starting position.

28 x 10 =  

280 dots (beginning of column 29) 

280/256 =  

1, remainder of 24 

n1 = 24 n2 =

This command is also used in the graphics mode on the receipt. See graphic commands in this chapter for more 
information. 

If the set horizontal and vertical motion units command (1D 50) is used to change the horizontal and vertical minimum 
motion unit, the parameters of this command (set relative print position) will be interpreted accordingly. For more 
information, see the description of the command set horizontal and vertical minimum motion units command (1D 50) 
in this document.
