If the above commands set the printing area width to less than the width of one character, the
printing area width is extended to accommodate one character for the line.
The horizontal motion unit uses the horizontal value set by the GS P command. The default setting
of the horizontal motion unit is 1/180 inch.
Program Example
PRINT #1, CHR$(&H1D);"P";CHR$(180);CHR$(180);
PRINT #1, "01234567890123456789"; CHR$(&HA);
PRINT #1, CHR$(&H1D);"L";CHR$(60);CHR$(0);
PRINT #1, CHR$(&H1D);"W";CHR$(120);CHR$(0);
PRINT #1, "01234567890123456789"; CHR$(&HA);
