Tally Genicom 6600 manual Vertical Justification, Positioning Data

Chapter 5 Positioning Data

Example 2: Since the tab command always specifies the print position relative to the left margin, it is possible to back up to previously printed positions within the line. For instance, the following example prints B before A even though A appears before B in the command sequence ^M0505^T0100A ^T0000B^-.

^T0100 Places block character A 1 inch right of the left margin.

^T0000 Places block character B at the left margin.

Vertical Justification

The print position may be changed vertically with the Vertical Justification command. This command allows the user to specify a print position below the top of the current Graphics Pass. The command syntax is:

Command ^Jxxd

Argument

^J	Vertical Justification Command
xxd	Specifies how far down from the beginning of the
	pass the characters are to begin printing. The xx is
	the justification in increments of 0.1 inches (0.25
	cm) from 00 to 99. the d indicates an additional
	number of dot rows to justify down (from 0 to 9 dot
	rows).

Example: The Graphics Pass: ^M0303000OPT^J030ION^- prints:

^J030 Sets current print position to 0.3 inches below the top of the pass.
