Set Absolute Starting Position
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.
Hex Decimal ASCII
1B 24 n1 n2 27 36 n1 n2 ESC $ n1 n2
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.
Determine the value of n by multiplying the column for the absolute starting
position by 10 (standard pitch) or 8 (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 = 1
Note: This command is also used in the graphics mode to emulate the Epson LQ-
950™ dot matrix printer. See “Graphics Commands” later in this chapter for
more information.
Set Line Spacing to 1/6 Inch
Sets the line spacing to 1/6 of an inch (4.25 mm) or 6 lines/inch on the selected
station. The command is not affected by the Print (17) command. At initialization
the receipt is reset to .13 inch (7.6 lines/inch, 2 extra dot rows); the slip is reset to
.14 inch (7.2 lines/inch, 3 extra dot rows).
Hex Decimal ASCII Default: Receipt Default: Slip

inch, 2 extra dot rows)
.14 inch (7.2 lines per
inch, 3 extra dot rows)
