[Code] <1D>H<57>H

[Outline] Sets the print area width specified by nL and nH.
The print area width will be [(nL + nH
Ч 256) Ч 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.
