Comments:
This sequence specifies the distance from the currently set left
margin that subsequent characters are to be printed, using this
formula: total number of dots = n1 + (n2 x 256). Each unit
equals 1/60th of an inch. The sequence is ignored and the
previous setting remains effective if the position specified is
beyond the right margin. This command applies to both draft
and NLQ.
