In Figure 4-3, a line feed occurs between “lesson” and “Test 1” because the space “ “ next to

“lesson” does 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 ORed 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.

< Example 2 >

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 lesson2CAN 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 (100th line). 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 (110th to 120th line). Furthermore, an

ESC T is issued to specify the print direction to be “0” (130th line).

After the above setup, print data is sent (140th to 160th line). Finally, an FF is sent (170th line) to

produce a print-out as shown in Figure 4-4 “Example 2: Result of Print”.
