Description: This control specifies a distance, which the printer adds to the current baseline coordinate
when the printer performs a Begin Line control.
Parameters P1P2 form a two byte value that specifies the baseline increment in units. All values between
X'8000' and X'7FFF' are valid. A value of X'FFFF' causes the printer to use the value in the LPD
command.
Absolute Move Inline (AMI)
2BD3 04 04 C6 (C7) P1P2
Description: This control moves the inline coordinate in the I direction. The move is to an absolute
position on the inline (I) axis.
Parameters P1P2 form a two byte value that specifies the new inline coordinate in units. All values
between 0 and X'7FFF' are valid.
Notes:
1. Values as large as X'7FFF' are valid but might be off the page.
2. Several Absolute Move Inline controls used in a single line reduce throughput. If possible, replace
Absolute Move Inline controls with spaces, or combine multiple Absolute Move Inline controls into a
single Absolute Move Inline control.
Absolute Move Baseline (AMB)
2BD3 04 D2 (D3) P1P2
Description: This control moves the baseline coordinate in the B direction. The move is to an absolute
position on the baseline (B) axis.
Parameters P1P2 form a two byte value that specifies the new baseline coordinate in units. All values
between 0 and X'7FFF' are valid.
Note: Baseline coordinate values that require a negative baseline displacement in order to print results in
an error if the LPD command specifies ordered printing.
Relative Move Inline (RMI)
2BD3 04 C8 (C9) P1P2
Description: This control moves the inline coordinate relative to the current line coordinate position.
Parameters P1P2 form a two byte value that specifies the displacement value in units. All values between
X'8000' and X'FFFF' are valid. Negative values are in twos-complement form.
Notes:
1. Values as large as X'FFFF' are valid but might be off the page.
2. Several Relative Move Inline controls used in a single line reduce throughput. If possible, replace
Relative Move Inline controls with spaces, or combine multiple Relative Move Inline controls into a
single Relative Move Inline control.
