If the horizontal start point or vertical start point is out of the printable area, this command is canceled and the next data is handled as normal data. If the horizontal length or vertical length is 0, this command is canceled and the next data is handled as normal data. If the horizontal start point + horizontal length is greater than the horizontal printable area, the horizontal printable area ­horizontal start point is taken as the horizontal length. If the vertical start point + vertical length is greater than the vertical printable area, the vertical printable area vertical start point is taken as the vertical length. Fractions resulting from calculations are corrected with the minimum pitch of the mechanism, and the remainder are omitted. The horizontal start point and horizontal length are calculated with the basic calculation pitch (x). The vertical start point and vertical length are calculated with the basic calculation pitch (y).
