Define print area
FUNCTION
<ESC> "D n1n2n3n4" <LF> <NUL>
CODE
1B
HEX
This command defines the print area(page length) according to the
REMARKS
value of n1n2n3n4 in 1/10 mm unit.
When start position detect is OFF(memory switch #1 n2=0,
Default), defined print area is same as page length.
When start position detect is ON(memory switch #1 n2=1), page
length is automatically detected and set by either black mark
(when reflective sensor is selected) or a gap between each label
(when transmissive sensor is selected). So size of print area is
different from actual page length in this case.
