FUNCTION
Define print area
CODE
<ESC> “D n1n2n3n4” <LF> <NUL>
HEX
1B 44 n1n2n3n4 0A 00
REMARKS
This command defines the print area(page length) according to the
value of n1n2n3n4 in 1/10 mm unit.
When start position detect is OFF(memory switch #1 n2=0,
Default), defined print area is same as page length.
When start position detect is ON(memory switch #1 n2=1), page
length is automatically detected and set by either black mark
(when reflective sensor is selected) or a gap between each label
(when transmissive sensor is selected). So size of print area is
different from actual page length in this case.
n1n2n3n4 : Print area 0080 to 3000 (8 mm to 300 mm)
