The print area width is set for a setting sheet enabled by ESC c 1.
The print area width of the receipt and journal printers can be set independently,
but if printing of the same data in both the receipt and journal printers is specified,
the print area width set in the journal printer is disregarded and the setting of the
receipt printer is enabled.
If a value which exceeds the printable area of one line is input, it is set with the
entire area except the left margin used as the print area width.
The basic calculation pitch is set by GS P. Also, once the print area width has been
set, it will not change even if the basic calculation pitch is changed by GS P.
The horizontal basic calculation pitch (x) in GS P is used in calculating the print
area width. Also, if there is a fraction in the calculation results, interpolation is
carried out at the mechanism's minimum pitch. Remainders are cut off.
