Set Relative Print Position

ASCII:
Hexadecimal:
Decimal:
Value of n:
To Move the Relative Starting Position Right of the Current Position by
n dots:
n1 = Remainder after dividing n by 256.
n2 = Integer after dividing n by 256.
The values for n1 and n2 are two bytes in low byte, high byte word
orientation.
To Move the Relative Starting Position Left of the Current Position by n
dots:
n1 = Remainder after dividing (65,536-n) by 256
n2 = Integer after dividing (65,536-n) by 256
The values for n1 and n2 are two bytes in low byte, high byte word
orientation.
Moves the print starting position the specified number of dots either
right (up to the right margin) or left (up to the left margin) of the
current position. The print starting position is reset to the first column
after each line.

Formulas:
To move to the left:
Determine the value of n by multiplying the number of columns to
move left of the current position by 10 (slip or receipt standard pitch)
or 8 (receipt compressed pitch). The example shows how to set the
relative position two columns in standard pitch (10 dots per column) to
the left of the current position.
2 x 10 = 20 dots (two columns to be moved left of the current position)
65,536-20 = 65516
