4-6 HP PCL Page Format Commands
Changing the print direction causes the following to occur:

The print origin moves with the logical page rotation. For example, rotating a de-
fault page (Portrait orientation, 0
o
print direction) 90
o
causes data to print in the
landscape direction across the “portrait” page.

The margins are translated (when the print direction changes by 90
o
, the left mar-
gin becomes the new top margin, the former top margin becomes the new right
margin, etc.)

The cursor position remains at the same physical location.

All subsequent printing (characters, area fill patterns, raster images) is rotated to
coincide with the new print direction.

Any current raster graphics end when the print direction changes.
NOTE:
This command does not affect HPGL/2
vector graphic images. HPGL/2 graphics can be
rotated only with the Orientation command (see
“Orientation”) or the HPGL/2 “RO” command.

The Print Direction command does not default HMI.
LEFT MARGIN
ESC &a#L
Decimal: 027 038 097 #...# 076
Hex: 1B 26 61 #...# 4C
#: column number
Use the left margin command to set the left margin to the left edge of a column you speci-
fy.
The default first column is column 0, located at the left edge of the addressable print area.
If you specify a value greater than the current right margin, the printer ignores the escape
sequence.
The HMI sets the distance between columns. Because margins are a physical position, they
will not change once set even though the HMI may change.
If a new left margin is set within the existing left margin, the cursor shifts to the new left
margin.
Column 0 is the factory default setting for the left margin.
