HP 5961-0509 manual Set Picture Frame Anchor Point, Print direction is, 18-10The Picture Frame

Set Picture Frame Anchor Point

This command sets the location of the PCL Picture Frame anchor point to the PCL cursor position.

EC * c 0 T

	Default	=	0
	Range	=	0
	The position of the picture frame anchor point defines the location of
	the upper left corner of the PCL Picture Frame. The “upper left” refers
	to the corner for which X and Y coordinates are minimized when the
	print direction is 0.
	A parameter value of zero (EC*c0T) specifies that the picture frame
	anchor point should be set to the cursor position. Sending a cursor
	move command prior to sending this command places the picture
	frame anchor in the desired location. All parameter values other than
	zero are ignored, but if you do not send a Set Picture Frame Anchor
	command, the printer defaults the anchor point to the left edge of the
	logical page and the default top margin.
Note	The print direction command does not affect the physical location of
	the anchor point or the picture frame.

Using this command defaults the location of P1 and P2, resets the soft-clip window to the PCL Picture Frame boundaries, clears the polygon buffer, and updates the HP-GL/2 pen position to the lower left corner of the picture frame (if entered with EC%0B), as viewed from the current orientation.

Example:

To set the picture frame anchor point to a position 6 inches from the left logical page boundary and 5 inches below the top margin, send:

EC*p1800x1500YEC*c0T

In this example, the cursor is first moved to the desired location (6 inches x 300 dots/inch = 1800 dots; 5 inches x 300 dots/inch = 1500 dots). Then the EC*c0T command sets the picture frame anchor point to that location.
