Comments:
Moves the print position one space to the left. Backspacing can be
performed up to, but not beyond, the left margin setting. If the BS code
is received immediately after receiving codes which unconditionally
change the print position, such as HT, it is ignored.

Comments:
This sequence specifies the distance from the left margin that
subsequent characters are to be printed, using this formula: total number
of dots = nl +
(n2
x 256). Each unit equals
1/60th
of an inch. The
sequence is ignored and the previous setting remains effective if the
position specified is beyond the right margin.

Comments:
Determines the position (relative to the current position) at which
printing of following data will start. To find nl and
IQ,
first calculate
the displacement required in dots. If the displacement is to the
left,
subtract it from 65536. Send
the
resulting number using this formula:
total number of dots = nl + (256 x
I-Q).
The command is ignored if it
would
move
the print position outside the current margins.
