n1 n2

Determines the position (relative to the current position) at which
printing of subsequent data will start. To find

n1

and

n2,

first

calculate the displacement required in dots. If the displacement is to

the left, subtract it from 65536. Send the resulting number using this

formula: total number of dots =

n1

+ (n2 x 256). The command is

ignored if it would move the print position outside the current
margins. A unit is 1/120th of an inch in draft, and 1/180th of an inch

in Letter Quality or proportional modes.
