area width is set and it is enabled when the printer returns to standard mode.
■ If the [left margin + print area width] exceeds the printable area, the print area width is automatically set
to [printable area – left margin].
■ If this command and GS L set the print area width to less than the width of one character, the print area
width is extended to accommodate one character for the line.
■ Horizontal motion unit is used.
■ If horizontal motion unit is changed after setting the printable area width, the printable area width
setting will not be changed.
■ Printable area width setting is effective until ESC @ is executed, the printer is reset, or the power is turned
off.
