[Description]
Sets the printing area width to the area specified by nL and
nH.
• The left margin is set to [(nL + nH

[Notes]
• This command is only enabled if set at the beginning of the
line.
• If the right margin is greater than the printable area, the
printing area width is set at maximum value.
• If the printing area width = 0, it is set at the maximum value.
• The horizontal and vertical motion units are specified by
GS P. Changing the horizontal or vertical motion unit does not
affect the current left margin.
• The GS P command can change the horizontal (and verti-
cal) motion unit.
• However, the value cannot be less than the minimum hori-
zontal movement amount and it must be in even units of the
minimum horizontal movement amount.
