A signed positive parameter value signifies that the cursor is to be repositioned to the right on the page, a negative value means that it will be moved to the left. An unsigned number as the parameter signifies that the horizontal repositioning is absolute - the cursor will be repositioned the specified number of decipoints to the right of the left edge of the logical page, the PCL coordinate system's y-axis. The cursor's vertical position remains unchanged. If you attempt to move the cursor to a position that is outside the boundaries of the logical page, the cursor will be positioned at either the left or right edge of the logical page as appropriate. 10 REM ***** HORIZONTAL CURSOR POSITIONING ***** 20 ESC$=CHR$(27) 30 REM 40 REM --- POSITIONING CURSOR AT 1 INCH --50 LPRINT ESC$+"&a720H"; 60 LPRINT "A"; 70 REM --- MOVING CURSOR 0.5 INCHES TO THE LEFT --80 LPRINT ESC$+"&a-360H"; 90 LPRINT "B"; 100 REM --- MOVING CURSOR 1 INCH TO THE RIGHT --110 LPRINT ESC$+"&a+720H"; 120 LPRINT "C"; 130 REM --- PAPER EJECT --140 LPRINT CHR$(12); 150 END 4.2.23. Positioning the cursor using control codes The carriage return, space, horizontal tab and backspace control codes can also be used to reposition the cursor using the current VMI and HMI settings. 4.2.24. Using the cursor position stack You can save and retrieve up to 20 cursor positions using the cursor position stack. Esc&f#S (27)(38)(102)#(115) # = 0 or 1 # Setting # to 0 stores the current cursor position on the stack. Setting # to 1 retrieves the cursor position currently on the top of the stack and makes it the current cursor position. Resetting the printer deletes all the positions from the stack.
