This command moves the print position a specified number of
n
/120 inches to the left
of the current position.
To calculate the values of n1 and n2, divide the number of dots (n) you want to move
by 256, the result is n2 and the remainder is n1.
n = n1 + n2 * 256
Values beyond the left margin will result in a jump to the left margin.
These commands let you place text or graphics very precisely on the page. (For precise
vertical positioning, see the description of the fine line feed and line spacing
commands.)
In all of the commands, determine the values of the two variables by dividing the
desired dot position by 256; assign the whole number result to n2 and the remainder
to n1.
