GS L nL nH
[Designation] Set left margin
[Format] 1DH, 4CH, nL, nH
[Valid limits] 0 nL 255
0 nH 255
[Initial value] nL = 0, nH =0
[Function] (1) Sets up the left margin specified using nL and nH.
(2) The left margin is [(nL+nH×256)×basic calculated pitch] inches.
(3) This command is valid only when entered at the beginning of the line.
(4) When page mode is selected, entering this command manipulates only the
internal flags of the printer.
(5) The command does not affect page mode.
(6) The maximum specifiable left margin is the same size as the printable area in
the horizontal direction. If the maximum value is exceeded, the value will be
rounded off to the maximum value.
(7) The basic calculated pitch is set up using the Set horizontal and vertical motion
unit (GS P).
In addition, the specified left margin will not be changed even if the basic
calculated pitch is changed using the Set horizontal and vertical motion unit
(GS P) after the left margin has been set up.
(8) The horizontal motion unit (x) of the Set horizontal and vertical motion unit
(GS P) is used for calculating the left margin.
(9) If the calculation result contains a fraction, the value is corrected using the
minimum pitch of the mechanism. The remainder is then discarded.
