[Description]
・Specifies an absolute print position (in units of 1/60 inch) for the next data.
・An absolute print position specifies the horizontal print position from the left margin.
・The next character is printed at a position (n1 + 256 * n2) / 60 inch from the left margin.
* However, since the printable length is 1 meter, an actual value greater than 2362/60
inches will result in an error during printing
