[Outline] | This command sets the left margin specified by nL and nH. | ||||||||
| The 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.) |
| • | When mapping |
|
| if the print area specified is narrower than |
|
| as follows: |
|
| (1) The print area is extended toward the left (so, the left margin is decreased) |
|
| until it is |
[Default] | nL = 0, nH = 0 | |
