OA [terminator]
EXPLANATION
When the OA command is received, the plotter is ready to output the following three values in
ASCI! code.
X,Y,P [TERM]
X and Y are the integer values of plotter coordinates. P indicates the pen condition, 0 for a pen
up and 1 for a pen down condition. [TERM] is an output terminator for the RS-232C interface.
For details, refer to “ 5.4 Device Control Command ESC.M” in Chapter 5.
This command can be used to manually move the pen to
a
desired position where a character or
pattern is to be drawn and to determine its coordinates, which will facilitate pen positioning and
window setting.
Before using the command in an actual program, open a file by using the OPEN statement.
