Overscore and underline characters don't print in the space between the two positions. Parameters Ln and Hn These parameters set the amount and direction of the movement. To determine their value, first decide the distance you want to move the text or graphics, in dots, based on 120 dots per inch. If you want to move to the right, multiply the distance by 120 dpi, then divide the result by 256. Assign the whole number result to Hn and the remainder to Ln. For example, to move 3" to the right: (3 x 120)/256 = 1 with a remainder of 104, so Hn = 1 and Ln = 104. If you want to move to the left, multiply the distance you wish to move by 120 dpi, then subtract the result from 65536. Take that value and divide it by 256: assign the whole number result to Hn and the remainder to Ln. For example, to move 3" to the left: 3 x 120 = 360 65536 - 360 = 65176 65176/256 = 254 (Hn), with a remainder of 152 (Ln) Chapter 8: Horizontal Control Commands 79
