> Function:
Sets the left and right margins in character positions from 
the home position by the current character pitch.
> Range:
The ranges for n1 and n2 are:
0 <= n1 <= 255 Left margin
0 <= n2 <= 255 Right margin
n1 < n2
> Out of range:
If n1 or n2 = 0 then the current margin setting is used.
If n2 exceeds the default range n2 will be converted to the 
default value.
> Additional details:
The default value of the left margin is the first character.
The margin settings are absolute. Changes in character 
pitch do not affect the margin position.
n1, n2 indicate the left and right edges of printable area. 
For example, if n1 = 10, n2 = 100, the printable area is 
from the 10th column to the 100th column: 91 characters 
are printable.
