Print Position - SATO CL408 Programming Reference Manual

PRINT POSITION

FUNCTION
The Horizontal and Vertical commands specify the top left corner of a field or label, using the
current base reference point as an origin. They also establish a reference point for
subsequent fields until the next horizontal and/or vertical print position command is issued.
FORMAT
Horizontal Position: <ESC>Haaaa
Vertical Position: <ESC>Vbbbb
Place preceding any print field description of lines/boxes, fonts, bar codes, or graphics.
EXAMPLE <ESC>A
<ESC>H0025<ESC>V0050<ESC>L0303<ESC>MSATO
<ESC>H0100<ESC>V0150<ESC>MSATO
<ESC>Q2
<ESC>Z
OUTPUT
(4-22)
NOTES To expand the print length to the maximum limit, the Expanded Print Length (<ESC>EX0) command
must be used. If any part of an image is placed past maximum allowable dots across the label, that part
of the image will be lost.
Leading zeroes do not have to be entered - command "V1" is equivalent to "V0001".
