ESC W xL xH yL yH dxL dxH dyL dyH
[Function] Defining the print area in PAGE MODE
[Code] <1B>H<57>H<xL><xH><yL><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 basic calculation pitch is defined by 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).
