GS W nL nH

[Name] Set printing area width

[Format] ASCII GS W nL nH

HEX 1D 57 nL nH

Decimal 29 87 nL nH

[Range] 0 ≤ nL ≤ 255, 0 ≤ nH ≤ 255

[Description] Sets the printing area width to the area specified by nL and nH.

[Notes] 1) The printing area width is set to [(nL+nHx256)] x horizontal motion unit inches.

2) This command is effective only processed at the beginning of the line.

3) In page mode, the printer performs only internal flag operations.

4) This command does not affect printing in page mode.

5) If the [left margin + printing area width] exceeds the printable area, (printable

area width - left margin) is used.

6) The horizontal and vertical motion units are specified by GS P.

Changing the horizontal and vertical motion units does not affect the current left

margin.

7) The horizontal motion unit (x) is used for calculating the printing area width.

The calculated result is truncated to the minimum value of the mechanical pitch.

8) If the width set for the printing area is less than the width of one character, when

the character data is developed, the following

If the printing area width cannot be extended sufficiently, the left margin is reduced

to accommodate one character.
