In Figure 1-1, a line feed occurs between "lesson" and "Test 1" because "lesson" and the next space " " do not fit in
the horizontal range of the 200 (400)-pitch print area. The line feed width conforms to the value specified by a
command such as ESC 3.
It is possible to set as many print areas as desired before executing FF. If print areas overlap each other, the print
area setup data are ANDed with the previous data.
If you want to erase a section of mapped data, use the CAN command. The CAN command erases all data in the
print area being specified. You can, therefore, use an ESC W to define a print area that encloses the section you
want to erase, and then execute the CAN command, so that the section of the data is erased.
It is important to remember that any part of a character that overlaps with the specified print area will be erased.
<Example 2>
100 PRINT#1, chr$(&H1b); "L"
110 PRINT#1, chr$(&H1b); "W";chr$(0);chr$(0);chr$(0);chr$(0);
120 PRINT#1, chr$(200) ;chr$(0);chr$(144);chr$(1);
130 PRINT#1, chr$(&H1b); "T";chr$(0);
140 PRINT#1, "Page mode lesson 2 CAN command"
150 PRINT#1, chr$(&HA);
160 PRINT#1, "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST1234567890"
170 PRINT#1, chr$(&Hc);
First, an ESC L is sent to switch to page mode
(line 100). Next, an ESC W is used to send eight
arguments, n1 to n8, to reserve a print area. In
this example, the arguments are sent in the
sequenceof0,0,0,0,200,0,144,and1,to
reserve a print area that measures 200 from the
start point (0, 0) in the x direction and 400 in the
y direction (lines 110 - 120). Furthermore, an
ESC T is used to specify the print direction to be
0 (line 130).
After the above setup, print data is sent (lines
140 - 160). Finally, an FF is sent (line 170) to
produce a print-out as shown in Figure 1-2.
