[Outline] Sets the print area width specified by nL and nH.
• The print area width will be [(nL + nH × 256) × basic calculation
pitch] inches.
[Caution] • This command only works when it is entered at the beginning
of a line.
• When PAGE MODE is selected, this command only executes
the internal flagging of the printer.
• The setting of this command does not affect PAGE MODE.
• If the value entered with this command exceeds the printable
area for one line, the entire area except the left margin is set
as the print area width.
• The basic calculation pitches are defined by GS P. Once
defined, the print area width is not changed if the basic
calculation pitch is changed by GS P.
• The print area width is calculated with the horizontal basic
calculation pitch (x) defined by GS P. A fraction resulting from
the calculation is corrected with the minimum pitch of the
mechanism, and the remainder is omitted.
• If the first character to be mapped at the beginning of a line
has a width (Including the right spacing) greater than the print
area width, only that line is handled as follows:
(1) The print area is extended toward the right to accommodate
the first character, but not wider than the printable area.
