Star Micronics 8111 Printer User Manual


 
movement is down when “lines” is positive and up when it is negative.
(A CP command with no parameters is the same as CR, LF within a label.)
DF (default)
Resets HP-GL/2 parameters to their default values and sets the carriage-
return point to the current cursor position.
DI (absolute direction) ([x,y { l,O}])
x: clamped real, text path “run”
Y:
clamped real, text path “rise”
These parameters determine the slope and direction of subsequent text. At
least one parameter must be non-zero, otherwise the command is ignored.
DR (relative direction) ([dx, dy ( 1 ,O}])
dx: clamped real, relative run
dy: clamped real, relative rise
This command established the run and rise of the text path relative to the
distance between points Pl and P2, as expressed by:
run =
dx * @‘2x - Plx)/lOO
rise =
dy * (P2y - Ply)/100
DT (define terminator) (I’ { <ETX> } [ ,mode ( 1) 1)
T:
string termination character (not <null>, <LF>, <ESC> or
<;>I
mode:
clamped integer, determining action of control character
CharacterT is used as the terminator of strings in subsequent LB commands.
T can be a control character. The mode indicates what to do with T, besides
using it as a terminator.
mode = 0 print and/or perform the action related to T
= 1 do not print or perform the action related to T
Once specified, T remain effective until it is specified again or the printer is
reset.
DV (define variable text path) (path (0) [,line( 0}])
path: clamped integer, determines text path direction
= 0 along slope and direction set by DI or DR
= 1 at -90” to slope and direction set by DI or DR
= 2 at -180” to slope and direction set by DI or DR
= 3 at -270” to slope and direction set by DI or DR
