Remarks:
Moves the print head a specified distance from the last character
printed. It can move the print head either left or right. The distance,
in inches, is determined by the following formulas:
Draft: (n1 + n2 x 256) / 120
Letter Quality: (n1 + n2 x 256) / 180
Proportional: (nl + n2 x 256) / 360
To move to the left, add 64 to the calculated value for n2. The maxi-
mum distance is 13.6 inches. The command will be ignored if you
try to move to a position outside of the current margins.
