[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 printable area is calculated as follow:
x0 = [(xL + xH x 256) x (horizontal motion unit)]
y0 = [(yL + yH x 256) x (vertical motion unit)]
dx = [(dxL + dxH x 256) x (horizontal motion unit)]
dy = [(dyL + dyH x 256) x (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 po printing area width) exceeds the printable area, the printing area
width is a automatically set to (horizontal printable - horizontal starting position).
·If (vertical starting po 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 units 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 for setting the horizontal starting position area width, and use the
vertical motion unit 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.
