Horizontal Cursor Positioning (in Columns) Moves the cursor to a new column on the current line (column width determined by current HMI setting). ?&a#C # = Column number Horizontal Cursor Positioning (in Decipoints) Moves the cursor to a new position along the x-axis. ?&a#H # = Decipoint position (1/720 inch), valid to 2 decimal places. Horizontal Cursor Positioning (PCL units) Moves the cursor to a new position along the x-axis. ?*p#X # = Number of PCL units Horizontal Cursor Positioning Control Codes CR - Carriage-Return Moves the cursor to the left margin on the current line. (Operation of CR may be modified--see Line Termination command. ) SP - Space Moves the cursor one column right on the current line for fixed-space font or moves the cursor the HMI distance for proportional fonts when space is a non-printing character. BS - Backspace Moves the cursor left, the distance of the last printed character, on the current line for fixed-space fonts. For proportionally-spaced fonts, backspace moves the cursor back along the current line the distance required to center the overstrike character over the last printed character. Subsequent BS command moves the width of the last printed character. HT - Horizontal Tab Moves the cursor to the next tab stop on the current line.

LO [ position] [;] position = Number indicating label position relative to current cursor position (see command description in PCL5 Technical Reference Manual). Label Mode Determines how LB (Label) and SM (Symbol Mode) interpret characters. Most often used for printing a 2-byte character set such as Kanji. LM [mode, [row number]:] mode = determines the interpretation mode as follows: 0 Interprets each byte as a character (8-bit mode). 1 Interprets the next two bytes as a character (16-bit mode). 2 Same logic as mode 0 except that vertical substitutes are used if found in a VT segment of the current font. 3 Same logic as mode 1 except that vertical substitutes are used if found in a VT segment of the current font. row number = indicates the first byte while the LB or SM instruction supplys the second byte. Used only in mode 0 when a 16-bit character set is selected. Select Alternate Font Selects the font designated by AD.
