VERTICAL CURSOR
POSITIONING (USING DECIPOINTS)
The following escape sequence moves the current active position
to a new vertical position in 1/720 inch increments (decipoints).
Ec&a#V
#
= Vertical position (in decipoints)
The value field (#) specifies the new vertical 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 downward and - moves cursor upward)-no plus
or minus sign indicates that the cursor move is absolute, with the
zero position defined as
the top margin and the bottom
determined by the bottom of the page. Vertical cursor
positioning ignores the perforation skip mode, allowing the cursor
to move into the top or bottom margin. NOTE: LaserJet+ and
LaserJet 500+ printers allow you to specify fractional values to
two places
after the decimal.
