Range

0 ≤ n ≤ 134 (left margin)
2 ≤ n ≤ 136 (right margin)

This command sets the left and right margins at the same time. The n

1

and n

2

parameters indicate

respectively the number of columns for the left and right margins at the current spacing. These margins
are retained in terms of absolute displacement from the physical left edge of the page. Use a CR
immediately after ESC X n to establish the print head position relative to the new margin setting.

If n

1

is equal to 0, the current left margin of the page is used. If n

2

is equal to 1, the current right margin of

the page is used. The left margin value must be less than the right margin value. The right margin value
must not exceed the physical right edge of the paper; otherwise the maximum acceptable value for the
right margin will be set.
