Table 6-27 Character Plot Command Parameters
Parameter
spaces
lines
The CP command includes an automatic pen down function. When the CP command
completes, the original pen up/down status is restored.
The CP command moves the pen position in relation to the current position. CP is a
movement command and does not affect the margin; to repeat the same movement for
subsequent text, you must issue new CP commands.
No parameters - Performs a carriage return and line feed (moves one line down and returns
to the carriage return point.
Spaces - Specifies the number of spaces the pen moves relative to the current pen location.
Positive values specify the number of spaces that the pen moves to the right of the current
pen position; negative values specify the number of spaces that the pen moves to the left.
Right and left are relative to the current text direction. The space width is uniquely defined
for each font; use the ES command described earlier in this section to adjust the width.
Lines - Specifies the number of lines the pen moves relative to the current pen location.
Positive values specify the number of lines that the pen moves up from the current pen
position; negative values specify the number of lines that the pen moves down (a value of -
1 is equivalent to a line feed). Up and down are relative to the current text direction. The
line feed distance is uniquely defined for each font; use the ES command described earlier
in this section to adjust the height.
When you move the pen up or down a specific number of lines, the carriage return point
shifts up or down accordingly.
