6-28 HP PCL Font Characteristics
Edge pen - For characters that are not to be edged, this parameter indicates the pen that is
used to edge the character (black or white).
0: No edging
1: Black edging. The outline pen width is not selectable, but varies in thickness in
proportion to the point size of the font.
Note that the absolute direction (DI) and relative direction (DR) commands do not cuase
rotation of fill patterns. Fill patterns remain fixed with respect to the current coordinate
system. The CF command remains in effect until another CF command is executed or the
printer is initialized or set to its default conditions.
Label Origin (LO)
This command positions text characters relative to the current pen location. Use the LO
command to center, left justify, or right justify text. The text can be drawn above or below
the current pen location and can also be offset by an amount equal to 0.25 times the point
size (or 16 grid units [0.33 times the point size] for the Stick font.

The printer interprets the parameters as follows:
No parameters - Defaults the text origin. Equivalent to (LO1).
Position - Position numbers correspond to dots which graphically represent the current pen
location. Positions LO 11 through LO 19 differ from position LO 9 only in that the text is
offset from the current pen location. Position 21 provides a PCL-compatible text origin.
Characters are printed in the same location as in PCL.
The LO command does not change the text path. To change the text path, use the DV
command.
Each time the LO command is sent, the carriage return point is updated to the location the
pen was in when the LO command was received. The current pen location (but not the
carriage return point) is updated after each character is drawn, and the pen automatically
moves to the next character origin. If you want to return a pen to its previous location prior
to the next label (LB) command, you can send a carriage return after the text but before the
label terminator.
