The decimal value n defines the vertical increment, as a number of line feeds, to be
carried out in order to reach the new current position. If parameter n is set to 0, the
document is printed but no paper movement is performed.

The command is not accepted (command specification error) if:

• The new position lies in the bottom of form or off the form (the line is printed).
• Sent without a document inserted.

Prints the current line and feeds the form to the line specified by n; the actual value of
this movement depends on the selected vertical spacing.

If the LF+CR feature has been selected in the printer Set-Up, the printing position is
set at the left margin. The decimal value n defines, as a number of line feeds, the
value of the new current line with respect to the start of the printing area.

If the document is not inserted, the printer feeds it in and positions it at the line
indicated by n. If parameter n is equal to 0, the document is positioned on the first
printing line (TOF or Mechanical top margin).

The command is not accepted (command specification error) if:

• The new position lies in the bottom of form, in the top of form or off the form

(the line is printed)

• The length of the document has not yet been defined (ESC Q...ESC Z).
