Set Relative Dot Position Command (IBM)

ML320 Turbo, ML321 Turbo
Function
Set Relative Dot Position
This command lets you move the print position very precisely to either the right or the left of
the current print position. Overscore and underline characters don't print in the space between
the two positions.
Parameters L and H
n n
These parameters set the amount and direction of the movement. To determine their value, first
decide the distance you want to move the text or graphics, in dots, based on 120 dots per inch.
If you want to move to the right, multiply the distance by 120 dpi, then divide the result by
256. Assign the whole number result to H
the right: (3 x 120)/256 = 1 with a remainder of 104, so H
If you want to move to the left, multiply the distance you wish to move by 120 dpi, then
subtract the result from 65536. Take that value and divide it by 256: assign the whole number
result to H and the remainder to L
n
65536 - 360 = 65176
65176/256 = 254 (H
