This sequence specifies the position from which subsequent charac-
ters are to be printed. The dot position is specified by n1 and n2; n1
is the lower byte of the dot position, and n2 is the higher byte.
Specifying the dot position as 0 (specifying 0 for both n1 and n2)
results in printing at the left margin; however, the sequence is
ignored and the previous setting remains effective if the position
specified is beyond the right margin. A dot is l/60 inch.
n1 = 0 to 255
n2 = 0 to 3
