Epson FX Mode 59

English

For example, if printing is required to start 300 dots in from the left

margin, the calculation would look like this:

n2 = Int.(300/256) = 1

n1 = 300 - (1 x 256)

n1 = 300 - 256 = 44

so the command would read:

CHR$(27);"$";CHR$(44);CHR$(1);

To set the relative position the procedure is very similar except that the

position is calculated in 1/120 inch dot spacing. The main difference is

that, as the name suggests, the next printing position is calculated using the

last printing position immediately before receipt of the command as the

reference.

To move the print position to the right, calculate n1 and n2 from the

number of dots that are required and enter these values into the command:

CHR$(27);CHR$(92);CHR$(n1);CHR$(n2).

Moving the relative print position to the left is a little more complicated.

Firstly, determine the number of dots required. Subtract this value from

65536 (2

). Finally, calculate n1 and n2 using the formula given above

and enter the values into the command format.

Note:

n1 and n2 are both decimal numbers between 0 and

255.

Both commands will be ignored if they set the dot position outside the

margin limits.

Setting Margins
