the current left margin.
7) The horizontal motion unit (x) is used for calculating the left
margin. The calculated result is truncated to the minimum value of
the mechanical pitch.

[Description]
Sets the horizontal and vertical motion units to approximately 25.4/x
mm(1/x inch) and approximately 25.4/y mm(1/y inch), respectively.
When x and y are set to 0, the default setting of each value is used.
[Notes]
1) The horizontal direction is perpendicular to the paper feed
direction and the vertical direction is the paper feed direction.
2) In standard mode, the following commands use x or y, regardless
of character rotation (upside-down).
Command using x : ESC SP, ESC $, ESC \, GS L, GS W
Command using y : ESC 3, ESC J
3) In page mode, the following command use x or y, depending on
character orientation;
When the print starting position is set to the upper left or lower
right of the printing area using ESC T(data is buffered in the
direction perpendicular to the paper feed direction);
Command using x : ESC SP, ESC $, ESC W, ESC \
Command using y : ESC 3, ESC J, ESC W, GS $, GS \
When the print starting position is set to the upper right or lower
left of the printing area ESC T (data is buffered in the paper
feed direction);
Command using x : ESC 3, ESC J, ESC W, GS $, GS \
Command using y : ESC SP, ESC $, ESC W, ESC \
4) The command does not affect the previously specified values.
