Description: This command specifies the next print starting position in reference to the left edge of the print area. The
printing
start position is calculated using (nL + nH x 256) x (vertical or horizontal motion units).
Remarks: ■ Any setting values that go beyond the printable area is ignored.
■ In standard mode, the horizontal motion unit is used for the calculation.
■ In page mode, the horizontal motion unit is applied when printing start poison is defined to the upper
right or
lower right of print area using ESC T, otherwise, the vertical motion unit is used.
Differences: Horizontal motion unit:
■ SRP-380II: 0.141mm(1/180 inch)
■ SRP-382II: 0.125mm(1/203 inch)
