Print zones for receipt station 80 mm paper

Specifications of print zone for receipt station 80 mm paper:

•	576 dots (addressable) @ 8 dots/mm,	•	Top margin to manual tear-off:
	centered on 80 mm		17.8 mm (0.70 inches)
•	Minimum margins for standard print:	•	Top margin to knife cut:
	2.0 mm (.079 inches)		19.0 mm (0.75 inches)

Note: The application centers 44 standard character cells (13 × 24 dots), or 56 compressed character cells (10 × 24 dots), or 576 addressable bits of graphics across an 80 mm wide receipt.
