ESC W xL xH yL yH dxL dxH dyL dyH

[Function]	Defining the print area in PAGE MODE
[Code]	<1B>H<57>H<xL><xH><yL><yH><dxL><dxH><dyL><dyH>
[Range]	0	xL, xH, yL, yH, dxL, dxH, dyL, dyH 255,
	except for dxL = dxH = 0 or dyL = dyH = 0
[Outline]	Defines the location and size of the print area.
	•	Horizontal start point = [(xL + xH ⋅ 256) ⋅ basic calculation pitch] inches
	•	Vertical start point = [(yL + yH ⋅ 256) ⋅ basic calculation pitch] inches
	•	Horizontal length = [(dxL + dxH ⋅ 256) ⋅ basic calculation pitch] inches
	•	Vertical length = [(dyL + dyH ⋅ 256) ⋅ basic calculation pitch] inches
[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).
	•	The figure below illustrates the print area, where X = horizontal start point, Y =
		vertical start point, Dx = horizontal length, and Dy = vertical length.

	The printable area for this printer is approximately 72.070 mm (576/203 inches)
	horizontally and 117 mm (938/203 inches) vertically.
[Default]	xL = xH = yL = yH = 0
	When paper width is 80 mm: dxL = 64, dxH = 2, dyL = 126, dyH = 6
	When paper width is 58 mm: dxL = 128, dxH = 1, dyL = 126, dyH = 6
