independently in standard and paper mode.
independently in standard and paper mode.
The units of horizontal and vertical motion are specified by the set horizontal and vertical minimum motion units (1D
50 …) command. Changes in the horizontal or vertical units do not affect the current right side character spacing.
When the horizontal or vertical motion unit is changed by the set horizontal and vertical minimum motion units (1D
50 …) command the value must be in even units and not less than the minimum amount of horizontal movement.

When the horizontal or vertical motion unit is changed by the set horizontal and vertical minimum motion units (1D

In standard mode the horizontal motion unit is used.
In page mode the horizontal or vertical motion unit differs and depends on the starting position of the printable area.
When the starting printing position is the upper left or lower right of the printable area (set by select print direction
in page mode, 1B 54 n) the horizontal motion unit (x) is used. When the starting printing position is the upper right or
lower left of the printable area (set by select print direction in page mode, 1B 54 n) the vertical motion unit (y) is used.
