The horizontal print position is defined as the position where the left-most
printable column of dots is printed for the next character or graphics design.
When you print characters or spaces, the printer automatically moves the print
position according to the pitch you select (or the width of each character if you
select proportional spacing).
To move the the horizontal print position independent of character printing, the
recommended commands are as follows:
ESC $ Set the absolute horizontal position
ESC \ Set the relative horizontal position
HT Horizontal tab
The format of the ESC $ command is as follows:
ESC $ nL nH
The resulting horizontal position is determined by the formula below.
(horizontal position) =((nH × 256) + nL) × (defined unit) + (left margin)
