[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.

[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.) |
