Print Position Commands
Relative Move Inline Forward (n/120")
This command moves the current print position to the right by the distance specified
in the parameter.
USAGE NOTES
•
Any attempt to use this command to move the print position beyond the
current right margin leaves the print position set to the right margin.
•
If underscoring and/or overscoring are in effect, the space of the move is
underscored/overscored (unlike the case of a horizontal tab).
•
The unit of measure is 1/120 inch. The position will be moved relative to the
current print position. The distance is computed as (Ln+(Hn*256)) in inches.
•
When a value is represented by two parameter bytes, value (A) = Ln + Hn X
256. Calculate values of A less than 256.
–
Hn is 0.
–
Ln is the value.
•
To calculate values of A equal to or greater than 255.
–
Divide the value A by 256.
–
The result is Hn.
–
The remainder is Ln.
