n5n6 Two byte definition of the X print position to stop the ruler line (in pixels). This value must be larger than the X start position.

n7n9 Two byte definition of the Y print position to stop the ruler line (in pixels). This value my be larger than the Y start position.

n9 Specifies the fill pattern. The valid range is 0 to 3. 0 is black and 1-3 are various checkered patterns. Values out of range are interpreted as 0.

Note • The Y print-position and horizontal/vertical orientation only works if Fixed

Document Mode is set. See Parameter n36 — Document Mode on page 104.
