the

th postion with the left edge as the reference, after printing
the data in the line buffer.
Settings changed partway through a line take effect from the
subsequent line. Changing the character pitch after setting does
not change the left margin. The left margin is the left edge is
when the power is turned ON.
The left margin must be at least 18 dots within the following
values in the left edge of the right margin. Also, if there is less
than one character including the space between characters in the
printable range set for the left and right margins, a "?" will be
printed instead of the character because printing is not possible
there.
