This code sequence specifies print start position in dot units. nH and nL are
2-byte binary numbers (0 through 639) which indicate dots where printing
starts. When s number greater than 639 is specified, the dot is printed from the
beginning of the next line.

I. Cautions
1. Wait at least one minute to turn on the power after it is turned off so that
the Printer will be initialized properly.
2. Never place the Printer in direct sunlight.
3. Never apply power while you are either plugging in or unplugging the serial
interface connector.
4. Never turn the power off while the Printer is operating,
5. Never try to move the print head manually when the power is either on or
not.
6. Never stop the ribbon cartridge motion while it is printing.
7. If a foreign object falls into the Printer, turn it off immediately and remove
the object. {This situation is the only exception to item #4 above.}
