0
≤ xL, xH, yL, yH, dxL, dxH, dyL, dyH ≤ 255
However, this excludes dxL = dxH = 0 or dyL = dyH = 0
Initial Value xL = xH = yL = yH = 0
[Description]
Sets the print region position and size.

Horizontal direction starting point [(xL + xH x 256) x basic calculated pitch]

Vertical direction starting point [(yL + yH x 256) x basic calculated pitch]

Horizontal direction length [(dxL + dxH x 256) basic calculated pitch]

Vertical direction length = [(dyL + dyH x 256) basic calculated pitch]

(X+Dx-1)<576 (3 inch, basic calculated pitch=1);(X+Dx-1)<432 (2 inch,
basic calculated pitch=1)

(Y+Dy-1)<768 (basic calculated pitch=1);

If (horizontal starting po printing area width) exceeds the printable
area, the printing area width is automatically set to (horizontal printable
area - 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).
