[Description]

The horizontal starting position, vertical starting position, printing area width, and printing area

 

 

height are defined as x0, y0, dx, dy, respectively.

 

 

Each setting for the printing area is calculated as follows:

 

 

x0 = [(xL + xH

256)

(horizontal motion unit)]

 

 

y0 = [(yL + yH

256)

(vertical motion unit)]

 

 

dx = [dxL + dxH

256]

(horizontal motion unit)]

 

 

dy = [dyL + dyH

256)

(vertical motion unit)]

 

 

The printing area is set as shown in the figure below.

[Details]

If this command is input in standard mode, the printer executes only internal flag operation.

 

 

This command does not affect printing in standard mode.

 

If the horizontal or vertical starting position is set outside the printable area, the printer stops

 

 

command processing and processes the following data as normal data.

 

If the printing area width or height is set to 0, the printer stops command processing and

 

 

processes the following data as normal data.

 

This command sets the position where data is buffered to the position specified by ESC T

 

 

within the printing area.

 

 

 

If (horizontal starting position + printing area width) exceeds the printable area, the printing

 

 

area width is automatically set to (horizontal printable area - horizontal starting position).

 

If (vertical starting position + printing area height) exceeds the printable area, the printing area

 

 

height is automatically set to (vertical printable area - vertical starting position).

 

The horizontal and vertical motion unit are specified by GS P. Changing the horizontal or

 

 

vertical motion unit does not affect the current printing area.

 

The GS P command can change the horizontal (and vertical) motion unit. However, the

 

 

value cannot be less than the minimum horizontal movement amount, and it must be in even

 

 

units of minimum horizontal movement amount.

 

Use the horizontal motion unit (x) for setting the horizontal starting position and printing area

 

 

width, and use the vertical motion unit (y) for setting the vertical starting position and printing

 

 

area height.

 

 

 

 

 

When the horizontal starting position , vertical starting position, printing area width, and

 

 

printing area height are defined as X, Y, Dx, and Dy respectively, the printing area is set as

 

 

shown in the figure below.
