• Horizontal logical origin = (xL + xH × 256) × (horizontal motion unit) from absolute origin.
• Vertical logical origin = (yL + yH × 256) × (vertical motion unit) from absolute origin.
• Print area width = (dxL + dxH × 256) × (horizontal motion unit)
• Print area height = (dyL + dyH × 256) × (vertical motion unit)

• This command can be used in Page mode. Page mode is selected by ESC L.
• With this command, the printing position is moved to a starting point selected by ESC T in the print area set.
• For this command, the horizontal direction means the direction perpendicular to paper feeding direction and the vertical direction means the paper feeding direction.
• Both print area width and height cannot be set to 0.
• The horizontal logical origin and the vertical logical origin cannot be set outside the printable area.
• The absolute origin is the upper left of the printable area.
• Horizontal logical origin and print area width are calculated using the horizontal motion unit.
• Vertical logical origin and print area height are calculated using the vertical motion unit.
• If [horizontal logical origin + print area width] exceeds the printable area, the print area width is automatically set to [horizontal printable area - horizontal logical origin].
• If [vertical logical origin + print area height] exceeds the printable area, the print area height is automatically set to [vertical printable area - vertical logical origin].
• Keep the following conditions in mind for printers that support GS ( P   <Function 48> .
• • The maximum area that can be specified by this command is the same as the printable area specified by GS ( P   <Function 48> .
  • The origin of this command is the same as the upper left point of the printable area specified by GS ( P   <Function 48> .
  • When adjusting the printable area of the Page modewith GS ( P   <Function 48> , specify the printable area to be the same as the setting of the printable area by this command after executing ESC L.
• Even if the horizontal or vertical motion unit is changed after changing the printable area, the setting of the printable area will not be changed.
• Settings of this command are effective until FF (in Page mode) is executed, ESC @ is executed, the printer is reset, or the power is turned off.
• This command setting has no effect in Standard mode.
