====== TEXTXY Set_Printer Message ======


 
==== Description ====
 
The TEXTXY message is used to send output to the printer at a specific position.
 
==== Parameters ====
 
^Parameter\\ ^Description of Fields\\ ^Comments\\ ^Default\\ ^
|Parm1 - TextString\\ |<1> TextString\\ |"Text String"\\ |""\\ |
|Parm2 - Location\\ |<1> X\\ |Starting X position\\ |0\\ |
| \\ |<2> Y\\ |Starting Y position\\ |0\\ |
|Parm3 - Font\\ |Same structure as Parm1 of the FONT message.\\ |Font structure.\\ |Current font\\ |
|Parm4 - Repeat\\ |<1> Repeat on all pages\\ |0=Current page only\\ 1=Print on all pages\\ |  1\\ \\ ||

 
==== Remarks ====
 
The Location parameter sets the starting position. If the Font parameter is not specified, then the font is set to the current font from the [[font_set_printer_message|FONT]] message. Use the Font parameter to print a specific font. This is useful when printing the TEXTXY on every page with the same font, because the font that is set with the [[font_set_printer_message|FONT]] message may change during printing. The Repeat parameter is used to repeat the text on every page.
