Gs 'W' Nl Nh Set Print Area Width - Seiko RP-F10 Series Technical Reference

When the set print area width is less than the minimum width of 1 internal character (the width
of the font size selected by character font selection) at mapping of the data other than
characters (bit image, etc.), the following processing is performed only for that line.
(1) Within the printable area, the print area is extended to the right side up to the equivalent
of the minimum width of 1 internal character.
(2) When an area up to the equivalent of 1 character cannot be secured even when (1) is
performed, the print area is extended to the left side. (The left margin is reduced.)
Ruled line data set in the "Ruled Line" command (DC3) is not shifted or masked due to the left
margin setting. (The ruled line data is always valid for the printable area.)

Code 1DH 57H nl nh
Definition Range
Default Printable area
Function Sets the print area width specified by nl and nh.
The print area width is [(nh × 256 + nl) × basic calculation pitch] inches.
Notes This command is valid only when input at the beginning of the line.
When page mode is selected, inputting this command executes only the internal flag
operation of the printer.
The setting of this command does not affect the page mode.
When a value that exceeds the printable area of 1 line is input, the entire area excluding the
left margin is set as the print area width.
The basic calculation pitch is set by the "Set Basic Calculation Pitch" command (GS 'P').
Moreover, once set, the print area width does not change even when the basic calculation
pitch is changed by the "Set Basic Calculation Pitch" command (GS 'P').
The basic calculation pitch in the horizontal direction (x) of "Set Basic Calculation Pitch"
command (GS 'P') is used for calculating the print area width. Moreover, when the calculation
result is a fractional figure, it is corrected using the minimum pitch of the printer, and the
remainder is discarded.
When the set print area width is less than 1 character of the currently specified character type
at character data mapping, the following processing is performed only for that line.
(1) Within the printable area, the print area is extended to the right side up to the equivalent
of 1 character of the specified character type.
(2) When an area up to the equivalent of 1 character cannot be secured even when (1) is
performed, the print area is extended to the left side. (The left margin is reduced.)

Ruled line data set in the "Ruled Line" commands (DC3) is not shifted or masked due to the
print area width setting. (The ruled line data is always valid for the maximum value of the
printable area.)
