Cursor Positioning
49
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.

Cursor Positioning
The Cursor Positioning commands are used to move the cursor horizontally
or vertically in 1/720 inch increments. Absolute and relative positions are
supported, but not fractional decimals. Do not use Cursor Positioning
commands to go beyond page boundaries.

Display Functions Mode
(PCL Level I)
The display functions mode can be entered using the ESCY sequence. In the
display functions mode, the printer prints representative character symbols for
the control code characters instead of actually executing the control
characters. In this mode, the carriage return (CR) control character will cause
a CR symbol to be printed and an actual carriage return and line feed to be
performed. The display functions mode can be exited by sending an ESCZ
sequence. The ESCZ will be printed before the mode is terminated. Display
Functions Mode “off” is the printer default state.
