Set Multiple Print Positions Command (Ibm/E/Ml) - Oki MICROLINE ML521 Reference Manual

The distance of the shift depends on the pitch engaged:

Parameters n through n
1
These parameters represent a four-digit ASCII number. If the value you wish to assign is less
than four digits, use zeros for the first digit(s). The value is calculated relative to the home
position which is 0001 in from the left margin.
For example, suppose you wish to indent 1" from the left margin, using 12 cpi pitch. The print
position will be indented 143/144" from the home position (1/144"), so the command to set it
is:
This command will be ignored if you set the print position outside either margin.
