be done, regardless of the PageModeHorizontalPosition property setting, based on the
PageModePrintArea property setting in the horizontal direction.
*3 If other than “LEFT” is specified for the printing position of bitmap, the printing shall
be done, regardless of the PageModeHorizontalPosition property setting, based on the
