[Caution] | • When STANDARD MODE is selected, this command only | ||
executes the internal flagging of the printer without affecting the printing in STANDARD MODE.
• If the horizontal start point or vertical start point is out of the printable area, this command is canceled and the next data is handled as normal data.
• If the horizontal length or vertical length is 0, this command is canceled and the next data is handled as normal data.
• The character mapping position will be the start point specified by ESC T in the print area.
• If the “horizontal start point + horizontal length” is greater than the horizontal printable area, the “horizontal printable area - horizontal start point” is taken as the horizontal length.
• If the “vertical start point + vertical length” is greater than the vertical printable area, the “vertical printable area - vertical start point” is taken as the vertical length.
• The basic calculation pitch is defined by GS P. Once defined, the print area is not changed if the basic calculation pitch is changed by GS P.
• Fractions resulting from calculations are corrected with the minimum pitch of the mechanism, and the remainder is omitted.
• The horizontal start point and horizontal length are calculated with the basic calculation pitch (x). The vertical start point and vertical length are calculated with the basic calculation pitch
(y).
