where:
n1 The high-order byte of the dot offset from the beginning of the print
line.
n2 The low-order byte of the dot offset from the beginning of the print
line.
Default:
n1 = 0, n2 = 0
Remarks:
In the customer receipt station, 1 mm = 8 dots.
In the document station, 1 inch = 150 half-dots (75 dots).
n1 and n2 are hex values. Convert each to decimal. Then, use this formula
to get the decimal equivalent:
(n1 × 256) + n2
.
If the number exceeds the printable area, it is ignored.
The maximum value for the customer receipt station is 576. The maximum
value for the document insert station is 474.
In the customer receipt station, this number is rounded back to a factor of
8.

(n2 × 256) + n1
To move the position to the left, use a negative number.
Example: To move N dots to the right
⇒
65536 − N .
If this number plus the left margin exceeds the printable area it is ignored.
