Moves the print position right or left a specified distance. 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 you want to move the print head to the left, nZ and n2 are obtained by subtracting the value from 65536, and dividing the result into high and low bytes.
