Determines the position (relative to the current position) at which
printing of subsequent data will start. To find n1 and n2, first
calculate the displacement required in dots. If the displacement is to
the left, subtract it from 65536. Send the resulting number using this
formula: total number of dots = n1 + (n2 x 256). The command is
ignored if it would move the print position outside the current
margins. A unit is 1/120th of an inch in draft, and 1/180th of an inch
in Letter Quality or proportional modes.
