4.2 Specifying Cursor-Movement Commands

Each printer provides a unique set of commands that control the vertical
and horizontal movement of the cursor (or print head) across the page.
These commands are called cursor-movement commands. Some of these commands
move the cursor with respect to the current position, or with respect to
the page origin, and require information about the distance to be moved.
Some of these commands move the cursor a fixed distance (these commands
include the carriage return, linefeed, and formfeed). On some printers, the
cursor-movement commands are somewhat primitive; for example, horizontal
movement can only be achieved by sending a space character from a
particular font. On other printers, a single command is available to move
the cursor in both horizontal and vertical direction. The coordinate system
used by cursor movement commands is based on the origin at the upper-left
corner of the page. Positive movement is considered to be moving down the
page (for y-movement commands), or moving to the right (for x-movement
commands).

The CURSORMOVE dialog box contains controls in which you specify the
cursor-movement commands and other related information which the Universal
Printer Driver requires. The following illustration shows the CURSORMOVE
dialog box:
