3. BER Cursor positioning In order to move the cursor on the printers page PCL offers three different possibilities One of the those methods depend on the actual resolution 300 600 dpi another on the actual used font Therefore we do recommend to use the only positioning command which is fully independent of any actual printer setting lt 27 gt amp a H Horizontal and lt 27 gt amp a V Vertical The value is measured in 1 720 Inch 2 54cm The decimal sign is the point As an example lt 27 gt amp a566 9h1133 86V positions the cursor about 2 cm of the left and 4 cm of the top printing origin Note The printing origin depends upon the hardware restrictions of the print engine For HP laser printer the printing origin is about 6 mm from top and left of the physical page A plus or minus sign in front of the positioning value causes the printer to perform at the actual cursor position a relative movement For example lt 27 gt amp a 720V positions the cursor 1 inch towards the top of page Note If two followed ESC Sequences do have the same first three characters the last character of the first sequence could be written in lower case and the next three characters can be eliminated Don t change the printing position PCL is able to store any cursor position reposition the cursor and return to the initial position lt 27 gt amp fS Push Cursor any PCL statement including cursor positioning lt 2
