Horizontal print control
–
The absolute margin position is dependent on the set character
i
size (10, 12 or 15 cpi) and the print mode (condensed, elongated,
normal). With proportional spacing the left margin is determined ac-
cording to the character size 10 cpi. Subsequent alterations to the
character size have no influence on the set margin.
–
The distance between the left and right margins must be at least 10
cpi.
–
ESC l (n) should be entered at the beginning of a print line as
ESC l (n) deletes all the previously entered characters and tabs in
the same print line.
Example:
First of all, the left document margin will be set using ESC l (n) for several values of
n. Subsequently, the effect of the current character size on the left margin will be de-
monstrated.
BEGIN
SET N = 6
REPEAT
SET N = N + 1

PRINTLF("Left margin",N - 1,"columns")
UNTIL N = 10
PRINTLF()
PRINT(char(27),"M")
PRINT(char(27),"l",char(10))
PRINTLF("Left margin 9 columns (12 cpi)")
PRINT(char(27),"W",char(1)
PRINTLF("Left margin unchanged")
PRINT(char(27),"l",char(10))
PRINTLF("margin 9 columns (elongated)")
PRINT(char(27),"l",char(160))
PRINTLF("margin ignored")
PRINTLF("not printed",char(27),"1",char(10),"printed")
