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) dots

If n2 is between 64 and 127, the print head moves left by (nl + [n2 - 641 x 256) dots
