5 Positioning and Repeating

Positioning Data

This chapter discusses the formatting and positioning commands provided by Code V.

Horizontal Tab

The Horizontal Tab command allows the user to specify the current print position relative to the left margin. When issued outside a pass, it sets the default left margin for all subsequent Graphics Passes. When issued inside a pass, it sets the left print position for that pass only.

The command syntax for a Horizontal Tab is:

Command ^Thhhd

Arguments
