Comments:
Prints out data in the print buffer, then moves the print position one
space to the left. Backspacing can be performed up to, but not
beyond, the left margin setting. The BS code is also ignored if
ESC a 2, or 3 has been sent. In Epson mode, if this code is received
immediately after graphics printing, the print position of subsequent
data is moved back to the point at which graphics printing started.

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.
