[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).
• The figure below illustrates the print area, where X = horizontal start point, Y =
vertical start point, Dx = horizontal length, and Dy = vertical length.
The printable area for this printer is approximately 72.070 mm (576/203 inches)
horizontally and 117 mm (938/203 inches) vertically.
[Default] xL = xH = yL = yH = 0
When paper width is 80 mm: dxL = 64, dxH = 2, dyL = 126, dyH = 6
When paper width is 58 mm: dxL = 128, dxH = 1, dyL = 126, dyH = 6
