In both margin commands, you set margins by columns. The actual position of the
margin depends on the current pitch: a margin of 10 columns will come out as one inch
in 10 CPI and one half inch in 20 CPI. However, once you have set a margin, its
absolute position remains the same, even if you change pitch, until you specifically
reset the margin. This saves you the work of adjusting margins with every pitch change
in your document.
You should always send margin commands at the beginning of a line.
Be sure to specify a right margin that is at least one more than the left margin.
Epson
Sending the left margin command will cancel any horizontal tab stops you may have
set, returning the printer to its default of tab stops every eight columns.
