1.6 Text Entry Command - ^Tn)

The Text Entry command used to define the actual data rendered using the output identified by the
CI parameter. This command starts with the "^Tn)" structure and then is followed by the subject text
or data. The "n" is an identifier that represents the subject text lines and will use the formatting that
has been placed in the corresponding "n" of the format entry command ("Fn)").
For features like graphics and/or line draw, this command is simply a placeholder for the equivalent
"^Fn)" command, so any text may be entered. When printing graphics, text containing the graphic
name or simply the word graphic should be entered and can be helpful for debugging purposes.
The same would be true when using the line draw feature by entering the word "line" in the "^Tn)",
this also assists in debugging easier.
Note: To print either the caret ("^") or the pipe ("|") characters simply enter them twice (example -
"^^").
