PRINT FORMAT COMMANDS
6-20 XEROX DOCUPRINT 180 LPS PDL REFERENCE
POSITION
This parameter specifies the initial character position of the CME in
the print line.
Syntax
ac
:CME POSITION =
option(s)
Options Table 6-17 lists the parameter option(s) and definition(s).
Points to note
Note the following when using the CME command:
• The CME LINE and POSITION parameters are order
dependent in that LINE must always precede POSITION.
• Data lines
Data lines are not properly aligned if proportional fonts are
being used in landscape mode and a switch is made to a larger
font in the middle of the line. This restriction is a result of the
functioning of the printer imaging hardware.
• Multiple copies
If a multicopy is aborted before all the pages are set up in the
page log, one copy gets printed if the CMEs are copy-sensitive.
Otherwise, all copies of the setup pages are printed.
• OVERPRINT, FONTINDEX, and CMEs
CMEs are not applied if OVERPRINT=MERGE and
FONTINDEX are both specified.
CME parameters are applied to all lines within the range
regardless of whether or not variable data appears on those
lines.
• Multiple lines and columns
Multiple lines may be specified and multiple columns may be
specified for each line. Multiple line specifications must be
given in ascending (top to bottom of page) order. Multiple
column specifications for a line range must be given in
ascending (left to right) order. There also may be multiple text
specifications following a column specification. These are
combined to form a single text string. Font specifications may
be specified at any point. The last font specified remains in
effect until another font is specified. An example of a CME with
these characteristics is as follows:
XYZ: CME
LINE=(1,10),POS=40,FONT=2,POS=80,FONT=3,
