Comments:
This sequence specifies the distance from the currently set left margin that subsequent characters are to be printed, using this formula: total number of dots = n1 + (n2 x 256). Each unit equals 1/60th of an inch. The sequence is ignored and the previous setting remains effective if the position specified is beyond the right margin. This command applies to both draft and NLQ.
