[Caution] | • This command only works when it is entered at the beginning |
| of a line. |
| • When PAGE MODE is selected, this command only executes |
| the internal flagging of the printer. |
| • The setting of this command does not affect PAGE MODE. |
| • If the value entered with this command exceeds the printable |
| area for one line, the entire area except the left margin is set |
| as the print area width. |
| • The basic calculation pitches are defined by GS P. Once |
| defined, the print area width is not changed if the basic |
| calculation pitch is changed by GS P. |
| • The print area width is calculated with the horizontal basic |
| calculation pitch (x) defined by GS P. A fraction resulting from |
| the calculation is corrected with the minimum pitch of the |
| mechanism, and the remainder is omitted. |
| • If the first character to be mapped at the beginning of a line |
| has a width (Including the right spacing) greater than the print |
| area width, only that line is handled as follows: |
| (1) The print area is extended toward the right to accommodate |
the first character, but not wider than the printable area.
