[Function] Defining the print area in Page mode
[Code] <1B>H<57>H<xH><yH><dxL><dxH><dyL><dyH>
[Range] 0 ≤ xL,xH,yL,yH,dxL,dxH,dyL,dyH≤ 255, except for dxL = dxH = 0 or dyL = dyH = 0
[Outline] Defines the location and size of the print area.
• Horizontal start point = [(xL + xH ( 256) ( basic calculation pitch] inches
• Vertical start point = [(yL + yH ( 256) ( basic calculation pitch] inches
• Horizontal length = [(dxL + dxH ( 256) ( basic calculation pitch] inches
• Vertical length = [(dyL + dyH ( 256) ( basic calculation pitch] inches
[Caution] • When Standard mode is selected, this command only executes the internal flagging of the
printer without affecting the printing in Standard mode.
• If the horizontal start point or vertical start point is out of the printable area, this command
is canceled and the next data is handled as normal data.
• If the horizontal length or vertical length is 0, this command is canceled and the next data is
handled as normal data.
• The character mapping position will be the start point specified by ESC T in the print area.
• If the "horizontal start point + horizontal length" is greater than the horizontal printable area,
the "horizontal printable area - horizontal start point" is taken as the horizontal length.
• If the "vertical start point + vertical length" is greater than the vertical printable area, the
"vertical printable area - vertical start point" is taken as the vertical length.
• The print area is defined by the basic calculation pitch GS P. Once defined, the print area
is not changed if the basic calculation pitch is changed by GS P.
• Fractions resulting from calculations are corrected with the minimum pitch of the
mechanism, and the remainder is omitted.
• The horizontal start point and horizontal length are calculated with the basic calculation
pitch (x). The vertical start point and vertical length are calculated with the basic calculation
pitch (y).
