Right Margin

Purpose The Right Margin command sets the distance between the right edge of the text and the left edge of the printable area regardless of paper orientation. The printable area begins 50 pixels (1/6th inch) from the left edge of the paper in portrait mode and 60 pixels (1/5th inch) from the left edge of the paper in landscape mode.

The right margin is set as a column number. The width of a column is determined by the Horizontal Motion Index (HMI) command, which sets the horizontal spacing of characters in fixed-pitch fonts. The HMI is used as a unit of measurement for selecting the margin, but once set the margin does not change with later HMI commands..

Syntax

Example

E&a#M

where # is the column number at the end of the line.

Note: If the Right Margin command specifies a column which exceeds the right edge of the logical page, the margin is set to the edge of the printable area. If the command specifies a column to the left of the left margin, the command is ignored.

To set the right margin at column 72, enter:

E&a72M
