Set Margin, Left

Set Margin, Left

ASCII Code ESC l n

Hex Code

1B 6C n

Dec Code

27 108 n

where:

n = number of columns from the left edge of the physical page to

 

the beginning of the print line;

 

n = 1 through 232 (hex 00 through hex E8)

Purpose

Sets the left margin to n columns in the current font.

Comment

Be sure to use the alphabetic lowercase “l” (as in left) rather than

 

the uppercase i “I” for this command. The number of inches of

 

margin does not vary if the font, character width, or horizontal

 

dot density changes. This command automatically clears and

 

resets horizontal tabs to every eight characters. The smallest

 

possible space between the left and right margins is the width of

 

one double-wide, 10 cpi character. If a margin control code

 

violates this minimum distance, it is ignored. Settings in

 

proportional mode are treated as 10 cpi.

Set Margin, Right

where:

n = number of columns from the left edge of the physical page to

 

the end of the print line;

Purpose

Sets the right margin to n columns at the current character width.
