BASIC Example:
10 0 REM -- Vertical Cursor position Movement -
110 REM -notice '#' has been replaced by line number-
120 LPRINT CHR$(27);"&a20R";"Line 20 - Twenty - Line 20 "
130 LPRINT CHR$(27);"&a15R";"Line 15 - Fifteen - Line 15"
140 LPRINT CHR$(27);"&a32R";"Line32-Thirty-Two-Line 32"
150 LPRINT CHR$(27);"&a25R";"Line 25-Twenty-Five-Line 25"
160 REM - this loop prints data in lines 20 to 40
170 FOR N=20 TO 40
180 LPRINT CHR$(27);"&a";N;"R";
190 LPRINT " line number ";N
200 NEXT N
210 LPRINT CHR$(12); :REM -Form Feed-
HORIZONTAL CURSOR POSITIONING
(USING DECIPOINTS)
The following escape sequence moves the cursor horizontally in
1/720 inch increments (decipoints). This sequence ignores margins
and can therefore be used to move the cursor to any point along
the present line (within the physical limits of the printer).
Ec&a#H
# =Horizontal position (in decipoints)
The value field (#) specifies the new horizontal position in
decipoints- a plus (+) or minus (-) sign before the decipoint value
specifies
that the position is relative to the current active position
(+ moves cursor right; - moves cursor left)-no plus or minus sign
indicates
that the cursor move is absolute, with the left-most
printable limit
of the page being position zero. NOTE: LaserJet+
and
LaserJet 500+ printers allow you to specify fractional
decipoint values to two places
after the decimal.
