Possible Values: 10*, 12, 13.3, 15, 16.74, 17.14,

20

This item sets the default character pitch in Characters Per Inch (CPI).
(Note that OCR-A and OCR-B characters are only valid at 10 CPI will
always print at 10 CPI regardless of this setting.)

Left Margin

Left Margin

Column 0

Possible Values: Column 0* … 268

This item sets the left margin in columns (characters) relative to the left edge
of the paper. The column width is based upon the current character pitch
(CPI). The left margin must be less than the right margin. The left margin
may be used to cause printing to begin farther to the right on a form. In
many cases using ALIGN PRINT may be preferable to using a left margin (see

Aligning Print”

on page 36) .

Right Margin

Right Margin

Column 272

Possible Values: Column 4 … 272*

This item sets the right margin in columns (characters) relative to the left
edge of the paper. A value of 272 is large enough to insure that characters
can be printed to the right end of the paper regardless of character pitch
(CPI). The right margin must be greater than the left margin. Text
characters that would have printed to the right of the margin will be
“wrapped around” and printed at the beginning of the next line. Graphic
data that would have printed to the right of the margin will be truncated (not
wrapped around). However, any data which would print before the right
margin but beyond the edge of the paper (either in the sprocket holes or on
the platen) will be truncated.
