ESC \ nL nH  Ver 1.00 
[Name]  Set relative horizontal printing position  [Operation] 
[Format]  1BH, 5CH, nL, nH 
[Range of Definition]  (nL + 256 x nH) x (relative horizontal position setting value) * 25.4mm 
[Function]  1)  If bit 6 of nH is 1, then nH will be negative, and the Most Significant Bit (bit 7) is 
presumed to be 1. Negative values are expressed in two's complement. 
2)  The printing position in the X direction is incremented from the current X position by the 
following amount 
      (256 x nH + nL) x (relative horizontal position setting value). 
    The    relative horizontal position setting value is set with the ESC (U command. 
    The defined default    relative horizontal position setting value is 0.141mm(1/180inch). 
  3)  If the position set by this command is within the non-printable area, it is ignored.   
However, it is possible to shift to a position in the right margin area.
