Text
Drawn on the Right Side of the Page
In this example the code draws text on the right side of the page. The printer is in Graphic mode. The program does as follows:
...
1. Opens the connection to the printer.
2. Uses page and font metrics to calculate the coordinates for the text to print on the right.
3. Draws the text at the calculated coordinates.
4. Closes the connection to the printer.
