EPOS [ESC] W
Description This sets the page size and position for data entry while in page mode. It is not valid during page
definition and must be issued before page definition starts.
The offset O is defined from the right edge of the print zone and is O
h
* 256 + O
l
dots at 208 dots
per inch. The Width is X
h
* 256 + X
l
dots at 208 dots per inch. The sum on O + X must not be
greater than 520 dots or 2.5 inches. The height is defined by Y
h
* 256 + Y
l
dots at 192 dots per
inch.
If the values specified by this command are out of range, the command will create the largest size
possible page definition with the X direction taking priority. If either X or Y is specified as 0, the
maxim value for that direction will be calculated and used. Specifying 0 for all the parameters
will restore the printer to the default of 520 in the X direction and 792 in the Y with no offset.
