[FUNCTION] *This command is effective only when processed at the beginning of a line in standard mode.
*This command executes only internal flag operations in page mode.
*The setting of this command does not affect printing in page mode.
*If the value exceeding the printable area is processed, printable area width except left margin is
used.
*The horizontal and vertical motion units are specified by GS P. Even if the printer changes the
horizontal and vertical motion unit by GS P after setting the left margin, the current left margin
remains unch anged.
*The horizontal motion unit (x) by GS P is used for calculating the printing area width. The
calculated result is truncated to the minimum value of the mechanical pitch.
*If the width set for the printing area is less than the width of one character including the right
space when the character data is developed at the beginning of a line, the following is processed
only on the line in question.
① The printing area width is extended to the right to accommodate one character, within
