Parameters

ParameterDescription of FieldsCommentsDefault
Parm1 - POS<1> XCurrent X pos""
 <2> YCurrent Y pos""

Remarks

Most Set_Printer() messages will ignore the X position, because they print at the left margin and use the current justification from the FONT message.

Example

/* The following example shows how to use the POS message to print text at 3 inches below the top margin. */
 
declare function Set_Printer
stat = Set_Printer("INIT") ;* Start printing
stat = Set_Printer("POS", 0:@FM:3.0)
stat = Set_Printer("TEXT", "Test 1 2 3 . . . ")
stat = Set_Printer("TERM") ;* End printing
