Set Print Position (relative)
Description: Moves the printhead to a horizontal position on the paper, relative to the current
printhead position. The distance is specified in dots and defined as:
number of dots = n1 + (n2 * 256)
To determine n1 and n2 , first calculate the displacement required in 1/120ths of an inch.
If the displacement is to the left, subtract it from 65536.
Maximum displacement is ±960. If the position specified places the printhead outside
the current margins, this function is ignored and the previous setting remains in effect.
This function is also ignored in right, center, and full justification modes.
