This command specifies the distance from the left margin where you want to print subsequent
characters. The distance is in number of dots and must be calculated using the following
formula:
Margin distance = n
1
+ (n
2
x 256)
where n
2
is the integer result of the number of dots divided by 256 and the n
1
is the remainder. 1 dot =
1/60 inch. If the selected position is outside the current right margin, the sequence will be ignored.
