n1, n2 = 1 - 255

Parameter n1 indicates the number of the column, in the current print pitch, for the left margin.

Parameter n2 indicates the number of the column, in the current print pitch, for the right margin.

Value n2 - n1 must be more than 1. Values that go beyond the right edge of the paper are set back to the right margin.

When parameters n1 and/or n2 are set to 0, they indicate that the current margins remain valid.

The margins are set according to the current print pitch, but their absolute position does not change, even if the pitch is then changed.
