Set Pattern Reference Point Command

The Set Pattern Reference Point command causes the printer to tile

patterns with respect to the current cursor position (CAP). This

command also specifies whether the pattern rotates with the print

direction or remains fixed.

? * p # R

A value field of 0 rotates the patterns with changes in the print

direction (see Print Direction command). For a value field of 1,

patterns remain fixed for changes in print direction.

The default pattern reference point is the upper left corner of the

logical page at the top margin (position 0,0). If the Set Pattern

Reference Point command is not set, the pattern is tiled with respect

to the default reference point.

Note All patterns are rotated for changes in orientation, but the pattern

reference point remains the same (refer to “Logical Page Orientation

Command” in Chapter 5 of the PCL 5 Printer Language Technical

Reference Manual).

This command applies to user-defined, shading, and cross-hatch

patterns.

# = 0 - Rotate patterns with print direction

1 - Keep patterns fixed

Default =0

Range = 0,1 (values outside the range are ignored)
