· The horizontal and vertical motion unit are specified by GS P. Changing the
horizontal or vertical motion unit does not affect the current printing area.
· 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 minimum horizontal movement amount.
· Use the horizontal motion unit ( x) for setting the horizontal starting position and
printing area width, and use the vertical motion unit ( y) for setting the vertical
starting position and printing area height.
· When the horizontal starting position , vertical starting position, printing area
width, and printing area height are defined as X, Y, Dx, and Dy respectively, the
printing area is set as shown in the figure below.
· This printable area for this printer is approximately 72 mm in the horizontal
direction and approximately 117.3 mm (1662/360 inches) in the vertical direction.

[Description] Sets the print starting position based on the current position by using the
horizontal or vertical motion unit.
• This command sets the distance from the current position to [( nL + nH ╳ 256) ╳
