These commands move the current horizontal print posi-
tion to the position specified by parameter nl. The units of
measure for the three commands are summarized below:
Command
<ESC>&anlC
<ESC>&anlH
<ESC>*pnlX
Units of nl
Column number (current pitch)
Decipoints (ln20-inch)
Dots (1/300-inch)
The command <ESC>&a-lC can be used to backup and
overstrike one character with another.
For example,
O<ESC>&a-lCI will print a slashed zero from an unslashed
one.
NOTE: The Horizontal Position commands are constrained
by the physical limits of the current page.

Saving and Restoring Print Position
The printer maintains a first-in/first-out (FIFO) stack of
print positions, so that print positions can be restored af-
ter other operations which cause the position to move.
The stack of print positions can be up to 20 levels deep.
Attempts
to
use more than 20 levels of stack, or
to
pop
non-existent values off the stack, are ignored.

Push/Pop Position
The command <ESC>&fOS pushes the current print position
onto the stack. Any positions already on the stack are
pushed one level further down the stack.
The command <Esc>&nS pops the most recently saved
