If the feature is
OFF,
printing is permitted in the bottom
margin area. Note that attempting to print in the unprint-
able region at the very bottom of a page will result in
characters being lost.

Right Margin
These commands set the left and right margins, respec-
tively, for printing text. The margin is set to the column
number specified in parameter
nb
with the first column in
a line being column zero, not one. For example:
Command
<ESC>&a12L
<ESC>&a72M
Action
Set left margin to column 12
Set right margin to column 72
The width of each column depends on the current font
pitch. If the current font is proportionally spaced, the
column width is set to the default for the font.

Normally
you would select a font and set the horizontal spacing
before setting the margins.
The left margin is set to the
left
edge of the specified
column; the right margin to the
right
side.
Attempts to set the left margin to the right of the right
margin, or vice-versa, default to the margin setting ex-
ceeded.
The alignment of the printer affects the page margins. Re-
fer to Part TIl, Printer Setup, for information on adjusting
the horizontal and vertical alignment through the Group 8
Options.
4The default column width for a proportionally spaced font defines the
distance moved in response to "space" (ASCII 32) and "backspace" (ASCII
8) commands. The default can be overridden by the 'Set HMI' command.
Switching fonts invokes the default for the new font.
