Setting Page Margins
Set the left and right margins with:
Set Page Margins
Set page margins
n1: left margin
n2: right margin
nl and n2 are converted to a multiple of 1/120 inch according to the
character pitch (10/12/15/17.1/20CPI) at the time. Thereafter, the distance
from the home position does not change even when the character pitch is
changed.
The valid ranges for n1 and n2 are as follows:
n
n1
n2
n2-n1 4-n2-n1 5-n2-n1 6-n2-n1 8-n2-n1 9-n2-n1
The right margin must be at least 4 characters (at 10 CPI) to the right of the
left margin. However, if n2 is greater than the default value, it is replaced
with the default value and then the range is checked.
The default values for the right margin (n2) are as follows:
If n1, n2, and n2-n1 are outside the range, the entire command is ignored
and the left and right margins remain unchanged. The n1 and n2 values
indicate left and right margins of the printable area.
Example
When n1 = 10 and n2 = 100, the print area is from column 10 to 100 with
91 printable columns.
The default value for the left margin is fixed at 1.
When the command is entered at the beginning of a line, it takes effect
from that line. When it is entered in the middle of a line, it takes effect from
the next line.
