Draw I-Axis Rule (DIR)
This control specifies the dimensions of a horizontal rule (line) extending from
the current print position. The current position does not change as a result of
this control. The rule is not drawn until the current position advances vertically
(as a result of other controls). Negative values are in twos-complement form.
If the length or width is zero, no line is drawn. If the width is the null indicator
(FFFFFF), or is omitted, the rule drawn is one dot wide.
