6– 29

The width of the printable area is set for the paper that was selected by the
Select Paper(s) for Settings command (1B 63 31).

If a fraction is part of the result from calculating the width of the printable
area, it is corrected with the remainder being truncated.

If the width of the printable area is less than one character wide (or the
equivalent of one character wide for a bit image), the width will be
extended to the right enough to print one character. If the area cannot be
extended to the right, the left margin will then be reduced.
