[Description] Sets the distance from the beginning of the line to the position at which subsequent
characters are to be printed.
The distance from the beginning of the line to the print position is [(nL + nH × 256) ×
(vertical or horizontal motion unit)] inches.
[Notes] • Settings outside the speci ed printable area are ignored.
• The horizontal and vertical motion unit are speci ed by $1D $50.
• $1D $50 can change the horizontal (and vertical) motion unit. However, the value cannot
be less than the minimum horizontal movement amount.
• In standard mode, the horizontal motion unit (x) is used.
• If the setting is outside the printing area width, it sets the absolute print position, but the
left or right margin is set at default value.
