In Figure 1-1, a line feed occurs between "lesson" and "Test 1" because "lesson" and the next space " "

do not fit in the horizontal range of the 200 (400)-pitch print area. The line feed width conforms to

the value specified by a command such as ESC 3.

It is possible to set as many print areas as desired before executing FF. If print areas overlap each

other, the print area setup data are ANDed with the previous data.

If you want to erase a section of mapped data, use the CAN command. The CAN command erases all

data in the print area being specified. You can, therefore, use an ESC W to define a print area that

encloses the section you want to erase, and then execute the CAN command, so that the section of the

data is erased.

It is important to remember that any part of a character that overlaps with the specified print area

will be erased.

100 PRINT#1, chr$(&H1b); "L"

110 PRINT#1, chr$(&H1b); "W";chr$(0);chr$(0);chr$(0);chr$(0);

120 PRINT#1, chr$(200) ;chr$(0);chr$(144);chr$(1);

130 PRINT#1, chr$(&H1b); "T";chr$(0);

140 PRINT#1, "Page mode lesson 2 CAN command"

150 PRINT#1, chr$(&HA);

160 PRINT#1, "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST1234567890"

170 PRINT#1, chr$(&Hc);

First, an ESC L is sent to switch to page

mode (line 100). Next, an ESC W is used to

send eight arguments, n1 to n8, to reserve

a print area. In this example, the

arguments are sent in the sequence of 0, 0,

0, 0, 200, 0, 144, and 1, to reserve a print

area that measures 200 from the start

point (0, 0) in the x direction and 400 in the

y direction (lines 110 - 120). Furthermore,

an ESC T is used to specify the print

direction to be 0 (line 130).

After the above setup, print data is sent

(lines 140 - 160). Finally, an FF is sent (line

170) to produce a print-out as shown in

Figure 1-2.
