Determines the position (relative to the current position) at which printing of following data will start. To find nl and YL?, first calculate the displacement required in dots. If the displacement is to the left, subtract it from 65536. Send the resulting number using this formula: total number of dots = nl + (256 X n2). The command is ignored if it would move the print position outside the current margins. A unit is 1/120th of an inch in draft and 1/180th of an inch in Letter Quality or proportional.
