[Function] Specifying the absolute positions
[Code] <1B> H <24> H < n1> <n2>
[Range] 0 ≤ n1 ≤ 255
0 ≤ n2 ≤ 1
[Outline] The printing start position is specified in the number of dots (1/203 inch unit) from the
beginning of line.
• The number of dots is divided by 256, whose quotient is taken as n2 and the residual as
n1.
• Therefore, the printing start position is equal to n1 + n2 × 256 from the beginning of line..
[Caution] • Specifying beyond the line end is ignored.
[Default] • The initial value is not specified.
