Relative Move Baseline (RMB)
This control moves the baseline coordinate relative to the current baseline
coordinate position.
Note: Baseline displacement values that require a negative baseline
displacement in order to print results in an error if the LPD command specifies
ordered printing.

Relative Move Inline (RMI)
This control moves the inline coordinate of the presentation position relative to
the current inline position. Negative values are in twos-complement form.
Notes:
1. Values as large as X
'FFFF' are valid but might be off the page
2. Several Relative Move Inline controls used in a single line reduce
throughput. If possible, replace Relative Move Inline controls with spaces, or
combine multiple sequential Relative Move Inline controls into a single
Relative Move Inline control.
