====== POS Set_Printer Message ======


 
==== Description ====
 
The POS message is used to set the current printing position for the [[text_set_printer_message|TEXT]], [[textcol_set_printer_message|TEXTCOL]], [[addtable_set_printer_message|ADDTABLE]], and [[table_set_printer_message|TABLE]] Set_Printer() messages.
 
==== Parameters ====
 
^Parameter^Description of Fields^Comments^Default^
|Parm1 - POS|<1> X|Current X pos|""|
| |<2> Y|Current Y pos|""||

 
==== Remarks ====
 
Most [[set_printer|Set_Printer()]] messages will ignore the X position, because they print at the left margin and use the current justification from the FONT message.
 
==== Example ====
 
<code>
/*
The following example shows how to use the POS message to print text at 3 inches below the top margin.
*/

declare function Set_Printer
stat = Set_Printer("INIT") ;* Start printing
stat = Set_Printer("POS", 0:@FM:3.0)
stat = Set_Printer("TEXT", "Test 1 2 3 . . . ")
stat = Set_Printer("TERM") ;* End printing
