[Description]
The cursor is offset by n mm. Absolutely moving forward from the left border to the horizontal
millimeter position; (at 200dpi := 8 pixel, at 300 dpi 12 pixel).
This command allows millimeter-accurate positioning to a print start position within a line. If the
desired positioning exceeds the available range of a line, the command is ignored. The print attributes
are not changed.
[Example]
A second text column should start after 20 mm. Command: Hello<ESC>N<20d>World.

This command allows pixel-accurate positioning to a print start position within a line. If the desired
positioning exceeds the available range of a line, the command is ignored. The print attributes are not
changed.
[Example]
A second text column should start after 135 pixel. Command: Hello<ESC>N<255d><0d><135d>World.

[Description]
Relatively moving forwards/backwards by pixel amount p = 256 x n + m
n/m is determined as an integer number with key signature, as follows:
nhl:= .... FFFD FFFE FFFF 0000 0001 0002 0003 ...
p := -3 -2 -1 0 +1 +2 +3 ...
If the desired positioning exceeds the available range of a line, the command is ignored. When moving
backwards, the print attributes are not changed.
