Banner Printing

13.0.2Margins

Margins in banners are handled the same as margins with cutsheet media. Default top and bottom margins are 1/2 inch. If perforation skip is disabled (Esc * l 0 L), the margins are adjusted to 0 top and bottom. The initial cursor (CAP) position in each page is calculated by:

top margin + (3/4 * current line feed) {where current line feed = 1/lines per inch} With perf skip disabled, the default cursor position is:

0 + (3/4 * 1/6 inch) = 1/8 inch

To position raster graphics at position 0, it is necessary to execute a negative cursor move. For example Esc * p - 38 Y will move backwards 1/8 inch. Esc * p 0 Y also works when perf skip is disabled

13.0.3Command Sequence

The media source must be selected for Continuous Forms before the negative cursor move is performed, as the Media Source command will default the cursor position to the top left corner of the defined logical page. In most cases, this defaulting action will leave some amount of top margin, resulting in a gap appearing in the banner image at the media perforation. By setting the media source first, and following that command with the negative cursor move, banner images can be printed. Remember that the negative cursor move must be performed at the beginning of each new page.

13.0.4Moving to a New Logical Page

Since raster graphics moves are clipped to the current logical page, it is necessary to explicitly move to a new page once the current page is filled. As shown in the HP PCL example on the following page, this may be accomplished by sending a form feed (followed by the appropriate cursor positioning).

Raster graphics advances never move to the next page, any excess rasters (raster data that would exceed the logical page boundary) will be discarded. If a raster block spans a page boundary, it must be sent as multiple blocks, along with the appropriate cursor positioning to align on the physical media.

For text printing on continuous media, line feeds or form feeds may be used to advance to the next logical page.

13.0.5Unloading Continuous Media

When the printer has completed a continuous-media print job, it will advance the paper to the end of the page after the current page. If media remains in the mechanism, the top LED will flash. Pressing the Resume button will advance one page. Media must be removed and rein- serted between each banner print job.
