Comments:

Determines the position (relative to the current position) at which printing of following data will start. To find nl and n2, first calculate the displacement required in 1/120ths of an inch. If the displacement is to the left, subtract it from 65536. Send the resulting number using this formula: total number of dots = n1 + (n2 x 256). The command is ignored if it would move the print position outside the current margins.
