Abstract
A print zone setting system has a key input device for inputting print format and the width and height of the area available for printing on a print sheet, and a processor for calculating the lateral and vertical dimensions of the print zone in the area available for printing with reference to the information received from the input means. Since it is not necessary for the operator to calculate the print zone, efficiency in printing operation is remarkably enhanced.
