Set Margins

Margin settings define the horizontal print area on the page. Minimum
space between margins is the width of one double-wide pica character.
Set Right Margin
All text in the print buffer is cleared, then the right margin is set to n col-
umns, using the current character pitch. This is the number of the charac-
ters from column 1 (at the left edge of the paper) to the last column before
the right margin (factory default = 80).
Minimum space between margins is the width of one double-width pica
character. Maximum value for this is the maximum number of characters
(based on the current pitch) that would fit between the left margin and the
right edge of the default printable area of the page. Ranges shown below
could vary, depending on values of other parameters that affect character
width. If the value specified is not within the allowed range, it is ignored.
Range of n is 2–80 in Pica mode, 2–96 in Elite mode, and 2–136 in Com-
pressed mode.

Set Left Margin
Print buffer text is cleared, then the left margin is set, relative to the num-
ber of columns to the left of the first column to print (factory default = 0).
Minimum space between margins is the width of one double-width pica
character. Maximum value must be less than the right margin. Ranges
shown below could vary, pending on other parameter values that affect
character width. If the specified value is not within the range, it is ignored.
Range of n is 0–78 in Pica mode; 0–93 in Elite mode, and 0–133 in Com-
pressed mode.

Set Skip Over Perforation

This function is valid for continuous paper only. The number of lines to
skip between the last printed line on the page and the first printed line on
the next page is set. If the value specified for this function is greater than
the page length, it is ignored. This function is canceled by the use of one of
the Set Page Length functions (factory default = disabled).
The amount of space left blank at the bottom of the printed page is depen-
dent upon the current Line Spacing.
