Sets the position and size of the printing area in Page Mode.
The command can be sent multiple times so that several different print areas, aligned in
different print directions, can be developed in the printer’s page buffer before being
printed by the Print and Return to Standard mode command (0C).
Defaults equal an origin of 0,0 and a size of 576x576. This command is allowed in any
mode.
Formulas:
The starting position of the print area is the upper left of the area to be printed (x0, y0).
The length of the area to be printed in the y direction is set to dy inches. The length of the
area to be printed in the x direction is set to dx inches. Use the equations to determine the
Value of x0, y0, dx, and dy.
See the illustration for a graphic representation of the printing area. For more information
about the fundamental calculation pitch, see the Set Fundamental Calculation Pitch
