Moves the print position right or left a specified distance. Ignored if the resulting
position is beyond the right or left margin. The formulas for the distance and

If n2 is between Oand 63, the print head moves right by (n] + n2
x 256)dots.
If you want to move the printhead to the left, n] and rz2are obtained by subtracting
the value from 65536, and dividing the result into high and low bytes.
