IBM < FS > “\” nl n2 28 92 nl n2 IC SC nl n2
Moves the print position right or left a specified distance (maximum 6
inches). Ignored if the resulting position is beyond the right or left margin.
The formulas for the distance and direction are as follows:
If n2 is between 0 and 63, the print head moves right by (nl + n2 x 256)/120
inches
If n2 is between 64 and 127, the print head moves left by (nl +
[n2 - 641 x 256)/ 120 inches

margin on the current line. Ignored if this position is beyond the right
margin. The maximum position is 8 inches.
