2001/10/02 DT - Define label terminator DT [ c [, m ]] [;] c : Character m : mode • This command allows you to specify the character that terminates strings printed with the LB instruction. • The character immediately following DT is taken to be the terminator. Hence, do not put a space between the DT and your chosen character. If you do, space will be interpreted as the terminator in all subsequent LB commands. • m, the mode, determines whether the terminating character is printed as part of the label or not. If m = 0 the character is printed ; if m = 1 it is not. • If you do not specify a value for m the terminating character is not printed. • If you leave out the character parameter the default character ETX (ASCII 3 ) is used as the terminator. • This setting is effective until the another DT is invoked or IN or DF is performed. 10 REM - Define Label Terminator 20 WIDTH "LPT:", 255 30 LPRINT CHR$(27); "E"; 40 LPRINT CHR$(27); "%0B"; 50 LPRINT "IN;SP2;"; 60 LPRINT "IN;SP2;SC0,5000,0,5000;" 70 LPRINT "PA0,4500;LBDefault control character ETX"; CHR$(13);CHR$(3); 80 LPRINT "LBterminates by performing end-"; CHR$(13);CHR$(3); 90 LPRINT "LBof-text function.";CHR$(3); 100 LPRINT "PA0,3500;DT@;LBPrinting characters terminate,"; CHR$(13); "@"; 110 LPRINT "LBbut are also printed.@"; 120 LPRINT "PA0,3000;DT"; CHR$(7); "LBcontrol characters terminate"; CHR$(13);chr(7); 130 LPRINT "LBand perform their function."; CHR$(7) 140 LPRINT CHR$(27); "%01"; 150 LPRINT CHR$(27); "E"; 160 END LO - Label origin LO [ p ] [;] • This instruction allows you to position labels in different ways relative to the current pen location. • You can centre, left justify or right justify labels relative to the current pen location and print them on, above or below the current location. • You can combine an offset distance, equal to 25% of the current font's point size, with any of the above origin positions. • p must either be in the range 1 - 9, 11 - 10 and 21. The label origin position specified by each p parameter value is shown below. 21 sets the label origin to the same one in PCL.
