[Function]
Setting the left margin
[Code]
<1D>H<4C>H<nL><nH>
[Range]
0≤nL≤255, 0≤nH≤255
[Outline]
[The specification which is common to the model]
• 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]
[The specification which is common to the model]
• 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 you progress the first character in start of the line, if the print area specified is not wide enough to
accommodate the wide of one character(*Right space is contained.),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.)
• When mapping non-character data (bit image, downloaded bit image, or bar code), if the print area specified
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, the left margin is decreased) until it is 9-dot wide, but not
wider than the printable area.
