value of the left margin is [(nL + nH × 256) × basic calculation
pitch] inches.

[Caution] • This command only works when it is entered at the beginning
of a line.
• When PAGE MODE is selected, this command only executes
the internal flagging of the printer.
• The setting of this command does not affect PAGE MODE.
• The maximum settable left margin is equal to the horizontal
printable area. A setting greater than this maximum is trimmed
to the maximum.
• The basic calculation pitch is defined by GS P. Once defined,
the left margin is not changed if the basic calculation pitch is
changed by GS P.
• The left margin is calculated with the horizontal basic
calculation pitch (x) set by GS P. A fraction resulting from the
calculation is corrected with the minimum pitch of the
mechanism, and the remainder is omitted.
• When mapping character data, if the print area specified is
not wide enough to accommodate one character of the current
font, only the line for that character data is handled as follows:
(1) The print area is extended toward the right to be equivalent
to one character of the current font, but not wider than the
printable area.
(2) If an area for one character cannot be provided as a result
of step (1), the print area is extended toward the left. (So,
the left margin is decreased.)
