Standard Mode 
The default value of n is 0. 
Page Mode 
The default value of n is 1. For more information see “ Page Mode”  later in this 
section. 
Note:  Only the lowest bit of n is effective. When n is even, uni-directional 
printing is turned off and when n is odd, uni-directional printing is 
turned on.

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 command (1D 50). 
•  x0 = [(n1 + n2 x 256) x (horizontal direction of the fundamental calculation 
pitch)] 
•  y0 = [(n3 + n4 x 256) x (vertical direction of the fundamental calculation 
pitch)] 
•  dx = [(n5 + n6 x 256) x (horizontal direction of the fundamental calculation 
pitch)] 
•  dy = [(n7 + n8 x 256) x (vertical direction of the fundamental calculation 
pitch)]
