Note

Note

?* p # Y

#= Number of PCL Units

Default = NA

Range = –32767 to 32767

A value field (#) with a plus sign (+) indicates the new position is downward from and relative to the current cursor position; a minus sign (–) indicates the new position is upward from and relative to the current cursor position. No sign indicates an absolute distance from the top margin. The top position, defined by the top margin, is 0 and the bottom position is determined by the bottom of the logical page.

Since the top margin can be changed using a printer command, the physical location of the point (0,0) may change. This affects the cursor position on the page.

If a request is made for a location outside the printer’s logical page, the current active position (CAP) is moved to the appropriate logical page limit.

The current unit size used in PCL Unit moves is determined by the value specified in the Unit of Measure command. If no other value is specified, the number of units-per-inch for PCL unit moves is one unit equals 1/300 inch.
