USING  THE DEFINE VARIABLE TEXT PATH ( DV ) COMMAND

     
     The Define Variable Text Path ( DV ) command determines
     the text path, the direction that the current location
     moves after each character is drawn and the direction
     that the Carriage Return point moves when a Line Feed
     is included in the label string. For more information
     see the PCL 5 Printer Language Technical Reference
     Manual. The syntax for this command is as follows:
     
     DV path,[line]; or DV;

PARAMETERS:
     
     Path                          Specifies the location of
                                   each character with
                                   respect to the preceding
                                   character, relative to
                                   the labeling direction
                                   defined by the DI or DR
                                   commands. The text path
                                   set by DV is not affected
                                   by changes in P1 and P2.
     
     Line                          Specifies the location of
                                   each character with
                                   respect to the preceding
                                   character, relative to
                                   the labeling direction
                                   defined by the DI or DR
                                   commands.
     

PROGRAM:
     
     LEGEND: Ec = [Ctrl] [P] [Esc] in DOS EDIT.
     
     
     
     
     EcE                           Resets the printer.
     
     Ec%0B                         Enters HP-GL/2 mode.
     
     IN;                           Initializes HP-GL/2 mode.
     
     SP1;                          Selects pen number 1,
                                   (black). Even though
                                   there is no physical pen,
                                   the SP command must be
                                   used to enable printing.
     
     PA2000,3000;DV1;              Specifies absolute
                                   plotting and moves to
                                   (2000,3000); defines the
                                   text path so that each
                                   character begins below
                                   the previous character
                                   (vertical path).
     
     DT@;                          Defines the "@" character
                                   as the label terminator
                                   (non-printing).
     
     LBABC CR-LF@;                 Print ABC, followed by a
                                   Carriage Return-Line Feed
                                   (CR-LF).
     
     LBDEF LF@;                    Prints DEF, followed by a
                                   Line Feed (LF).
     
     LBGHI LF@;                    Prints GHI, followed by a
                                   (LF).
     
     LO3;                          Changes the Label Origin
                                   to 3 (the default LO1 was
                                   used prior to this).
     
     LBJKL@;                       Prints JKL.
     
     LO1;                          Return to the default
                                   label origin (LO1).
     
     PA4000,3000;DV0;              Moves to (4000,3000), and
                                   defines the text path so
                                   that each character
                                   begins to the right of
                                   the previous one
                                   (horizontal [default]
                                   text path).
     
     LBABC CR-LF@;                 Prints ABC, followed by
                                   CR-LF.
     
     LBDEF LF@;                    Prints DEF, followed by
                                   Line Feed.
     
     LBGHI@;                       Prints GHI (without CR or
                                   LF).
     
     Ec%0A                         Enters PCL mode.
     
     EcE                           Sends a reset to end the
                                   job and eject the page.
