[FUNCTION]
Sets printing area and position.
Horizontal starting position =[(xL + xH x 256) x horizontal motion unit]
Vertical starting position =[(yL + yH x 256) x vertical motion unit]
Printing area width =[(dxL + dxH x 256) x horizontal motion unit]
Printing area height =[(dyL + dyH x 256) x vertical motion unit]
[DETAILES]
*When the command is selected 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 out of the printable area, the printer stops command
processing and processes the following data as normal data.
*If the printing area width or height is 0, the printer stops command processing and processes the
following data as normal data.
*The position where data is buffered is the position specified by
ESC T
within the printing area.
*If (horizontal starting po printing area width) exceeds the printable area, the printing area
width is set to (horizontal printable area – horizontal starting position.)
*If (vertical starting po printing area height) exceeds the printable area, the printing area
height is set to (vertical printable area – vertical starting position).
*The horizontal and vertical motion unit are set by
GS P
. Changing the horizontal or vertical
motion unit after set printing area, does not affect the current printing area.
* The calculated result is truncated to the minimum value of the mechanical pitch.
*Use the horizontal motion unit (x) for setting the horizontal starting position and printing area
width and also use the vertical motion unit (y) for setting the vertical starting position and printing
area
height.
*The printing area is as follows if the horizontal starting position is defined as X, vertical starting
position as Y, printing area width as Dx and printing area height as Dy.

*The printable area for this printer is approximately72.2mm {576 dot (519/180”)} in the horizontal
direction and approximately 104mm {831 dot (1496/360”)} in the vertical direction.
