[Function] (1) Sets the position and size of the print area.
Horizontal starting point: [(xL+xH×256)×basic calculated pitch] inches
Vertical starting point: [(yL+yH×256)×basic calculated pitch]inches
Horizontal length: [(dxL+dxH×256)×basic calculated pitch]inches
Vertical length: [(dyL +dyH×256)×basic calculated pitch] inches
(2) When standard mode is selected, entering this command manipulates only the
internal flags of the printer.
In this case, the command does not affect printing in standard mode.
(3) Command processing is canceled if the horizontal or vertical starting point is
outside the printable area. The next data is then processed as normal data.
(4) Command processing is canceled if the horizontal or vertical length is 0. The
next data is then processed as normal data.
(5) Character expansion is started in the print area at the starting point specified
using the Select print direction in page mode command (ESC T).
(6) If the (horizontal starting point + horizontal length) exceeds the printable area
horizontally, the (printable area horizontally- horizontal starting point) is used
as the horizontal length.
(7) If the (vertical starting point + vertical length) exceeds the printable area
vertically, the (printable area vertically - vertical starting point) is used as the
vertical length.
