Description ESC W sets the position and the size of the printing area.
•
Horizontal starting position = [(xL + xH × 256) × (horizontal motion units)].
• Vertical starting position = [(yL
+ yH × 256) × (vertical motion units)].
• Horizontal printing area width = [(dxL
+ dxH × 256) × (horizontal motion units)].
• Vertical printing area width = [(dyL
+ dyH × 256) × (vertical motion units)].
