ESC $ n1 n2

[Function] Specifying the absolute positions
[Code] <1B>H<24>H<n1><n2>
[Range] 0

[Outline] The printing start position is specified by the absolute position from the left margin
with the number of dots divided by 256 and quatient specified as "n2" and remainder
as "n1".
Therefore, the printing start position is designated as n1 + n2 256 basic calculation
