Using toggles Text originally entered at a 9700/8700 keyboard may contain number
signs (##). The number sign acted as a toggle to enable the user to
alternate between lower- and uppercase characters. Previously, this
was the only way to specify a change from uppercase to lowercase
and vice versa. The following is an example of the use of toggles to
change from uppercase to lowercase in a text string.
Entering:
‘R#ETAIL #D#ISTRIBUTION’
Produces:
‘Retail Distribution’
Although the current keyboards provide lowercase capability, it is
important to note that a form previously created on a 9700/8700
using toggles, will compile successfully on a 9790/8790, 4050, 4650,
4090, 4850/4890, 4135, 4635 or DocuPrint 96/DocuPrint 96MX LPS.
Aligning text
Text in forms may be left-aligned, right-aligned, or centered, as
illustrated in the examples that follow.
Left-aligned To produce text that is left-aligned, enter:
TEXT ALIGNED LEFT AT 5,1
‘FIRST’ ‘NATIONAL’ ‘TRUST’ ‘CO’;
This command produces stacked, left-aligned output beginning five
grid units down from the form origin and one grid unit to the right of
the form origin, as follows:
FIRST
NATIONAL
TRUST
CO
Right-aligned To produce text that is right-aligned, enter:
TEXT ALIGNED RIGHT AT 5,1
‘FIRST’ ‘NATIONAL’ ‘TRUST’ ‘CO’;
This command produces the following:
FIRST
NATIONAL
TRUST
CO
