• Vertical logical origin = (yL + yH × 256) × (vertical motion unit) from absolute origin.
• Print area width = (dxL + dxH × 256) × (horizontal motion unit)
• Print area height = (dyL + dyH × 256) × (vertical motion unit)
[Notes]

■ If [horizontal logical origin + print area width] exceeds the printable area, the print area width is
automatically set to [horizontal printable area – horizontal logical origin].
■ If [vertical logical origin + print area height] exceeds the printable area, the print area height is
automatically set to [vertical printable area – vertical logical origin].
