Unit 4: Standard Command Codes
SATO GL4xxe SBPL Programming Reference Page 4-23
PRINT POSITION
FUNCTION
The Horizontal and Vertical commands specify the top left corner of a field or label,
using the current base reference point as an origin. They also establish a reference
point for subsequent fields until the next horizontal and/or vertical print position
command is issued.
FORMAT
Horizontal Position: <ESC>Haaaa
Vertical Position: <ESC>Vbbbb
aaaa = Number of horizontal dots from base reference point (1 to Hmax)
bbbb = Number of vertical dots from base reference point (1 to Vmax)
Place preceding any print field description of lines/boxes, fonts, bar codes, or
graphics.
EXAMPLE
<ESC>A
<ESC>H0025<ESC>V0050<ESC>L0303<ESC>MSATO
<ESC>H0100<ESC>V0150<ESC>MSATO
<ESC>Q2
<ESC>Z
OUTPUT
(4-17)
NOTES
To expand the print length to the maximum limit, the Expanded Print Length
(<ESC>EX0) command must be used. If any part of an image is placed past
maximum allowable dots across the label, that part of the image will be lost.
Leading zeroes do not have to be entered - command “V1” is equivalent to “V0001”.
