Description
Specifies the absolute print position (in dots) for the next data.
An absolute print position specifies the next print position as a number of dots from the left margin.
n1 and n2 indicate the number of dots from the left margin.
(Number of dots=n1+n2*256)
The maximum number of dots that can be specified with n1 and n2 depends on the media.
This command is available only with left alignment.

Description
Specifies the horizontal print position (in dots) as a relative position from the current position.
A relative position specifies the next print position as a number of dots from the current position.
n1 and n2 indicate the number of dots from the current position. (Number of dots=n1+n2*256)
Left margin position
horizontal position after moving<right margin position
Horizontal position after moving=n1+n2*256
The specified value for moving to the left is expressed as a two's complement. It is determined by the
following equation.
n1+n2*256=65536-distance actually moved
This command is available only with left alignment.
