CHANGING THE ANCHOR CORNER

     
     The AC command positions the starting point of any fill
     pattern. By using this command you ensure that the
     selected fill pattern is positioned as expected within
     the figure.  For more information see the PCL 5 Printer
     Language Technical Reference Manual.
