Set Pattern Reference Point Command

The Set Pattern Reference Point command causes the printer to tile patterns with respect to the current cursor position (CAP). This command also specifies whether the pattern rotates with the print direction or remains fixed.

?* p # R

# = 0

-

Rotate patterns with print direction

1

-

Keep patterns fixed

Default

=

0

Range

=

0,1 (values outside the range are ignored)

 

A value field of 0 rotates the patterns with changes in the print

 

direction (see Print Direction command). For a value field of 1,

 

patterns remain fixed for changes in print direction.

 

The default pattern reference point is the upper left corner of the

 

logical page at the top margin (position 0,0). If the Set Pattern

 

Reference Point command is not set, the pattern is tiled with respect

 

to the default reference point.

 

 

Note

All patterns are rotated for changes in orientation, but the pattern

 

reference point remains the same (refer to “Logical Page Orientation

 

Command” in Chapter 5 of the PCL 5 Printer Language Technical

 

Reference Manual).

 

This command applies to user-defined, shading, and cross-hatch

 

 

patterns.
