•The setting of this command does not affect Page mode.
•If the value entered with this command exceeds the printable area for one line,
the entire area except the left margin is set as the print area width.
•The basic calculation pitches are defined by GS P. Once defined, the print area
width is not changed if the basic calculation pitch is changed by GS P.
•The print area width is calculated with the horizontal basic calculation pitch (x)
defined by GS P. A fraction resulting from the calculation is corrected with
the minimum pitch of the mechanism, and the remainder is omitted.
•If the first character to be mapped at the beginning of a line has a width
(including the right spacing) greater than the print area width, only that line is
handled as follows:
(1) The print area is extended toward the right to accommodate the first
character, but not wider than the printable area.
