[Function]	Setting the left margin
[Code]	<1D>H<4C>H<nL><nH>
[Range]	0	nL	255

value of the left margin is [(nL + nH ⋅ 256) ⋅ basic calculation pitch] inches.

[Caution]	• This command only works when it is entered at the beginning
	of a line.
	• When PAGE MODE is selected, this command only executes
	the internal flagging of the printer.
	• The setting of this command does not affect PAGE MODE.
	• The maximum settable left margin is equal to the horizontal
	printable area. A setting greater than this maximum is trimmed
	to the maximum.
	• The basic calculation pitch is defined by GS P. Once defined,
	the left margin is not changed if the basic calculation pitch is
	changed by GS P.
	• The left margin is calculated with the horizontal basic
	calculation pitch (x) set by GS P. A fraction resulting from the
	calculation is corrected with the minimum pitch of the
	mechanism, and the remainder is omitted.
	• When mapping character data, if the print area specified is
	not wide enough to accommodate one character of the current
	font, only the line for that character data is handled as follows:
	(1) The print area is extended toward the right to be equivalent
	to one character of the current font, but not wider than the
	printable area.
	(2) If an area for one character cannot be provided as a result
	of step (1), the print area is extended toward the left. (So,
	the left margin is decreased.)
