IBM 1xR Printer User Manual


 
v n2 is the low-order byte of the dot offset, relative to the left margin in
standard mode or the current print position in page mode.
default:
n1 =0,n2 =0
Remarks:
v In the thermal station, 1 mm = 8 dots.
v In the impact station, 1 inch = 150 half-dots (75 dots).
v n1 and n2 are hex values. To get the decimal equivalent, convert each to
decimal, and then use this formula: (n1 x 256) + n2.
v To move the position to the left, use a negative number.
v If this number plus the left margin exceeds the printable area, the
command is ignored.
v In the CR station, this number is rounded back to factor of 8. See the Set
left margin position command for more information.
v When printing in page mode, this is a one-time adjustment on the
current line. If this command moves the current print position outside
the printable area defined by the Select printable area command, the
command is ignored.
Set printing position
Syntax:
GS ] xyor X'1D;5D;x;y'
Where:
v x is the two-byte horizontal position, with respect to the paper,
regardless of printing direction.
v y is the two-byte vertical position, with respect to the paper, regardless
of printing direction.
Remarks:
v This command allows complete control of the printing position with a
single command.
v If either parameter is outside the printable area defined by the Select
printable area command, the command is ignored.
Print, form feed and cut the paper
Syntax:
FF or X'0C'
Remarks:
v In standard mode, the data in the print buffer feeds the paper in the CR
station or DI station by a preset amount, until the document exits the
feed rollers. If a cutter is available (CR station only), it cuts the paper.
v In page mode, the printer prints the page, then returns to standard
mode. The page loaded in the printer's buffer is cleared. The paper is
not cut.
