6.13 Set absolute vertical print position(extended) “ESC (V nL nH m1 m2 m3 m4”
Format:
ASCII ESC ( V nL nH m1 m2 m3 m4
Hex 1B 28 32 nL nH m1 m2 m3 m4
Decimal 27 40 86 nL nH m1 m2 m3 m4
Range of Values for Parameters:
nL=04H, nH=00H
(Vertical position set) = (mL + mH x 256) x (units set)
0 <= (m4*1000000H+ m3*10000H+m2*100H+m1))×(the set absolute vertical
position unit )inch <= 1FFFFFFFH/1440 inch
Function:
1) The printing position in the Y direction is set to a position spaced in the positive
direction by (m4*256*256*256 +m3*256*256 + m2*256 + m1) x (the set absolute vertical
position unit) inches from the origin upon the Y axis of the position management coordinate
system.
2) If the printing position in the Y direction has been set by this command to a non-
printable region, then the paper is ejected, the position management coordinate system is set to
the next page, and the printing position in the Y direction is reset to the origin upon the Y axis of
the new position management coordinate system.
3) Setting in the negative direction is ignored.

The absolute vertical position unit are set by the ESC( U commands.
The range of impossible printing are set by the ESC( c, ESC N, ESC O commands.
The relative vertical position setting units, the non-printable region, and the printing
position in the Y direction are reset to their initial states by the ESC @ and ESC (G
commands.
