ASCII Code ESC % n
Hex Code 1B 25 n
Dec Code 27 37 n

sent from the data stream.
Select Vertical Tab Channel

Set Absolute Horizontal Print Position in 1/60 Inch
ASCII Code ESC $ n1 n2
Hex Code 1B 24 n1 n2
Dec Code 27 36 n1 n2
Purpose Moves the logical print head to an absolute horizontal print
position, using 1/60 inch increments.
where (
n1 + [256 n2 ]) / 60 = the unsigned distance in inches from the
left margin.
n1 = (Number of DATA bytes) - 256( n2 )
(remainder of division of number of DATA bytes by 256,
sometimes referred to as MOD 256)
n2 = Number of DATA bytes) / 256 (quotient of division)
Discussion If the distance goes beyond right margin, the sequence is
ignored.

ASCII Code ESC >
Hex Code 1B 3E
Dec Code 27 62
