Notes:
1. Only A0 can be used if the text is set to 180/90 degrees.
2. The S828 Printer provides Limited Simulated Color Support. All architecturally defined color values for
image data are accepted and result in simulation of the specified colors without generation of
unsupported color exceptions. All valid colors not listed in the above table (X'0001' through X'0007',
X'0009' through X'0010', and X'FF01' through X'FF06') are simulated by printing in black.
Coordinate Type:
Can be either an absolute or a relative value. Absolute values specify a location on the
logical page relative to the reference coordinates. Relative values specify a location on the logical page
relative to the current coordinates.
If byte 10 equals X'00', the S828 Printer uses the absolute values of I and B, as specified in bytes 11
through 13 and bytes 15 through 17 of this command. These values are the text inline and text baseline
coordinates, respectively.
If byte 10 equals’X'20', the S828 Printer uses the absolute value of I and the relative value of B. The
absolute I value is the text inline coordinate (bytes 11 through 13 of this command); the relative B value is
the sum of the current text baseline coordinate and the value specified in bytes 15 through 17 of this
command.
If byte 10 equals X'40', the S828 Printer uses the relative value of I and the absolute value of B. The
relative I value is the sum of the current text inline coordinate and bytes 11 through 13 of this command;
the absolute B value is the text baseline coordinate, specified in bytes 15 through 17 of this command.
If byte 10 equals X'60', the S828 Printer uses the relative value of I and the relative value of B. The
relative I value is the sum of the current text inline coordinate and bytes 11 through 13 of this command;
the relative B value is the sum of the current text baseline coordinate and bytes 15 through 17 of this
command.
If byte 10 equals X'A0', the current logical page X and Y coordinates determine the origin. When the block
is within a page, WIC bytes 11 through 13 and 15 through 17 specify the offset from the X-coordinate and
Y-coordinate origin specified in a previously received LPP command (or from the printer default
coordinates if no LPP command is received). When the block is within an overlay that is invoked using an
LCC command, WIC bytes 11 through 13 and 15 through 17 specify the offset from the Xm-coordinate and
