Summary of ac:CME Command Parameters

3.4.1 Points to note

Note the following when using the CME command:
The CME LINE and POSITION parameters are order dependent in that LINE must always
precede POSITION.
Data lines
Data lines are not properly aligned if proportional fonts are being used in landscape mode
and a switch is made to a larger font in the middle of the line. This restriction is a result of
the functioning of the printer imaging hardware.
Multiple copies
If a multicopy is aborted before all the pages are set up in the page log, one copy gets print-
ed if the CMEs are copy-sensitive. Otherwise, all copies of the setup pages are printed.
OVERPRINT, FONTINDEX, and CMEs
CMEs are not applied if OVERPRINT=MERGE and FONTINDEX are both specified.
CME parameters are applied to all lines within the range regardless of whether or not vari-
able data appears on those lines.
Multiple lines and columns
Multiple lines may be specified and multiple columns may be specified for each line. Multi-
ple line specifications must be given in ascending (top to bottom of page) order. Multiple
column specifications for a line range must be given in ascending (left to right) order. There
also may be multiple text specifications following a column specification. These are com-
bined to form a single text string. Font and ink specifications may be specified at any point.
The last font and ink specified remains in effect until another font or ink is specified.
An example for a CME with these characteristics is as follows:
XYZ: CME
LINE=(1, 10), POS=40, FONT=2, POS=80, FONT=3,
LINE=(11, 20), POS=1, INK=1, FONT=3, POS=40, FONT=1, POS=80, FONT=2,
LINE=(31, 50), POS=1, FONT=2, POS=40, FONT=3, INK=2, POS=80, FONT=1;
