received command is effective.

[(n

× 256) × (vertical or horizontal motion unit)] inches.
[Notes] • Settings outside the specified printable area are ignored.
• The horizontal and vertical motion unit are specified by GS P.
• The GS P command can change the horizontal (and vertical) motion unit.
However, the value cannot be less than the minimum horizontal movement
amount, and it must be in even units of the minimum horizontal movement
amount.
• In standard mode, the horizontal motion unit (x) is used.
• In page mode, the horizontal or vertical motion unit differs, depending on the
starting position of the printable area as follows:
1 When the starting position is set to the upper left or lower right of the printable
area using ESC T, the horizontal motion unit (x) is used.
2 When the starting position is set to the upper right or lower left of the printable
area using ESC T, the vertical motion unit (y) is used.
