Chapter 2 Command Codes

Justification, Vertical

Purpose Specifies a lower vertical print position relative to the print

position of the alphanumeric command. This feature is useful for

positioning data within boxes or columns on a form.

jus

(cc)-

(cc) Represents the Special Function Control Code

(SFCC). Enter the specific SFCC for your Code V

configuration.

J The Vertical Justification command. Enter J.

jus

Defines the new vertical justification (position) for

character printing in tenth inches and dot rows.

Enter a three-digit value ranging from 000 through

999 to define the new print location down from the

starting position of the command sequence. The

first two digits specify 0.1 through 9.9 inches

downward justification; the third digit specifies an

additional 0 through 9 dot rows of downward

justification. The decimal point between the first two

digits is automatically understood by the Code V

and the third digit is automatically interpreted as dot

rows.

(cc)- Graphics Mode CR used as a sequence terminator.

Enter the SFCC for your IGP configuration

immediately followed by - to end the command

sequence.

NOTE: This command will cause extra vertical blank spaces at the bottom of

a form if its value is greater than the bottom edge of any previously

drawn graphical element in the current command sequence.

Comments The J command is input as part of the data in one of the

alphanumeric commands and only affects the justification; other

parameters (such as height and width) are not changed.

A justification of 2 inches specifies a print position 2 inches down

from the position of the alphanumeric command; a subsequent

justification of 1 specifies the print position at 1 inch down from

the position of the alphanumeric command.
