PRINT POSITION

ESC <	Select Unidirectional Mode (1 Line): Forces unidirectional print,
	from right to left, in the line in which this command is embedded.
	Unidirectional printing begins with the first character following
	receipt of this command and is canceled by a carriage return.
	Decimal:	27 60
	Hex:	1B 3C
	BASIC:	CHR$(27);"<";
ESC U n	Turn Unidirectional Printing ON/OFF: Causes the printer to print
	in only one direction [prints with the shuttle moving from right to left)
	or in both directions according to the value of parameter n as follows:
		n	Effect

lUnidirectional printing on

0 Unidirectional printing off

When turning unidirectional printing off, the command should be the first character in the line to be printed bidirectionally.

	Decimal:	27 85 n
	Hex:	1B 55 nH
	BASIC:	CHR$(27);"U";CHR$(n);
ESC $ n1 n2	Set Absolute Print Position: Specifies the distance from the current
	left margin where subsequent characters are to be printed. If the
	position specified is beyond the right margin, this command
	sequence is ignored and the previous settings remain in effect.
	Argument units are 1/60 Inch, expressed as n1 + (n2 x 256).
	Example: To establish a position 6.3 inches from the left margin:
	6.3 x 60 = 378 (total number of 1/60-tnch increments)
	378/256 =1 with a remainder of 122
	n1 = 122
	n2 = 1
	Expressed in BASIC this is:
	CHR$(27);"$";CHR$(122);CHR$(1);
	Decimal:	27 36 (n1) (n2)
	Hex:	1B 24 (n1H) (n2H)
	BASIC	CHR$(27);"$";CHR$(nl);CHR$(n2);
