Configuring the PCL-II Emulation with Control Codes
Cursor Control
Absolute and relative cursor control are provided for the printer. Cursor moves
are made in the current active pitch and current active vertical spacing. The
following escape sequences perform these functions:
are made in the current active pitch and current active vertical spacing. The
following escape sequences perform these functions:
Absolute Row
ESC&a#R
Move cursor to absolute row # (where # is an unsigned
integer)
Move cursor to absolute row # (where # is an unsigned
integer)
Absolute Column
ESC&a#C
Move cursor to absolute column # (where # is an
unsigned integer)
Move cursor to absolute column # (where # is an
unsigned integer)
Relative Row
ESC&a[+#]R
Move cursor to relative row # from current position
(where # is a signed [+ only] integer)
Move cursor to relative row # from current position
(where # is a signed [+ only] integer)
Relative Column
ESC&a[+/-#]C
Move cursor to relative column # from current position
(where # is a signed [+/-] integer)
Move cursor to relative column # from current position
(where # is a signed [+/-] integer)
NOTE: A plus (+) or minus (-) sign in front of the value indicates that the new
position is relative to the current active position. A (+) sign means the
new position is to the right (horizontal) or that paper motion is forward
(vertical). A (-) sign means that the new cursor position is to the left of
the current active position. The printer does not perform reverse
paper motion.
new position is to the right (horizontal) or that paper motion is forward
(vertical). A (-) sign means that the new cursor position is to the left of
the current active position. The printer does not perform reverse
paper motion.
The vertical cursor positioning commands move the current active position to
the same column on a new line; the vertical movement is based on the active
vertical spacing.
the same column on a new line; the vertical movement is based on the active
vertical spacing.
The horizontal cursor positioning commands move the current active position
to a new column on the same line; the horizontal movement is based on the
active horizontal print pitch.
to a new column on the same line; the horizontal movement is based on the
active horizontal print pitch.
The first column/row within a line/page is column/row zero. Therefore, the
upper left-most position is position (0,0). This escape sequence ignores
margins and can therefore be used to set the current active position to any
location within the printer’s physical limits. If a request is made for a location
outside the printer’s physical limits, the current active position is moved to the
appropriate limit.
