Left margin
[Notes] • This command is enabled only at the beginning of the line.
• If the setting exceeds the printable area, the maximum value of the printable area is
used.
• If left margin + printing area width is greater than printable area, then printing area
width is set at maximum value.
• The horizontal and vertical motion units are specified by $1D $50. Changing the
horizontal or vertical motion unit does not affect the current left margin.
• The command $1D $50 can change the horizontal (and vertical) motion unit.
• However, the value cannot be less than the minimum horizontal movement amount
and it must be expressed in even units of the minimum horizontal movement amount.

• This command does not affect the previously specified values.
• The calculated result from combining this command with others is truncated to the
minimum value of the mechanical pitch or an exact multiple of that value.
[Default] x = 200, y = 200
