This command allows you to print characters a specified distance to the left or right of the current print
position.
The unit of movement is 1/120".
If you wish to move the print position to the right, the distance the print position is to be moved is calculated

1
+(n
2
*256))/120".
If you wish to move the print position to the left, the distance the print position is to be moved is calculated
as (65536 – (n
1
+(n
2
*256)))/120".
If the specified position is beyond the left or right margin the command is ignored.
