    The printer’s physical printable area is 160.02 mm (6.3"). The value that is set at Left Margin/Page Setup in the application is treated as the distance from the printer’s print start position (left edge). In other words, if the value set at Left Margin is greater than 0, the printing area shifts to the right in actual printing by as much as the set value.
