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

Printable Area

		Left Margin	Print Area Width
[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). 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 current print area 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 one character of the area cannot be provided as a result of step (1), the print area is
		extended toward the left (so that the left margin is decreased).
	• When mapping non-character data (bit image, downloaded bit image, or bar code), if the
	current print area is narrower than 9 bits, only the line for that data is handled as follows:
	(1)	The print area is extended toward the left (so that the left margin is decreased) until it
		is 9-dot wide, but not wider than the printable area.
[Default]	nL = 0, nH = 0
