[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]
[The specification which is common to the model]
• 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]
[The specification which is common to the model]
• 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 is approximately 117 mm (938/203 inches) vertically, and horizontal area depends on the
model. (Refer to the below Table)
