• When the location value is 0, 1 and 2, it ignores the unit value (which might be set to any value). The
default value is 0, and whenever you reset the printer, the value is reset to the default value.
• The location unit setting is retained by the printer. If the printer does not send this command to change the
setting for an entity request, then it uses the currently available location units.
• The printer may set the location type and unit in order. It does not identify any invalid combinations until it
receives the inquire entity command. Hence, if the unit value is not in the correct range, it sets the unit to the
value for a proper error response to be sent when the inquire entity command is received.
