    (Vertical position set) = (mL + mH x 256) x (units set) 
[Function]  1)  The printing position in the Y direction is set to a position spaced in the positive direction 
by (256 x mH + mL) x (the set absolute vertical position unit) x 25.4 mm from the origin 
upon the Y axis of the position management coordinate system. 
  2)  If this command sets the printing position in the Y direction to a non-printable area, then the 
paper is ejected. The position management coordinate system is set to the next page. In
