n1 = 480 MOD 256

=dec.224

=hex.E0

Movement of 5⁄3 inches (1.67 inches) towards the left side:

n	=	65536 - 1.67 * 120
	=	65336

n2 = INT (65336⁄256)

=dec.255

=hex.FF

n1 = 65336 MOD 256

=dec.56

=hex.38

Note that you obtain the same result by using the formula given for calculating n1 and n2 for absolute horizontal step (see sequence ESC $). Only the method of calculations is different. The two different methods give the same result and therefore the programmer should use the method best suited for his application.
