Positioning Data
This chapter discusses the formatting and positioning commands provided by
Code V.
Horizontal Tab
The Horizontal Tab command allows the user to specify the current print
position relative to the left margin. When issued outside a pass, it sets the
default left margin for all subsequent Graphics Passes. When issued inside a
pass, it sets the left print position for that pass only.
The command syntax for a Horizontal Tab is:
Command ^Thhhd
Arguments
^T Horizontal Tab Command
hhh Horizontal distance from the left margin specified in
increments of inches (0.25 cm) from 000 to 132
(00.0 to 13.2 inches or 0 to 33.5 cm).
d Additional number of dot columns, from 0 to 9.
Example 1: The command ^M1010^T0152A^- prints an A tabbed 1.5 inches
plus 2 dot columns to the right or the left margin:
^T0152 Places block character A 1.5 inches plus 2 dot
columns right of the left margin.
