[Function] Setting the print area width
[Code] <1D>H<57>H<nL><nH>
[Range] 0≤nL≤255
0≤nH≤255
[Outline] [The specification which is common to the model]
• Sets the print area width specified by nL and nH.
• The print area width will be [(nL+nH×256)×basic calculation pitch] inches.

[Caution] [The specification which is common to the model]
• 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.
