This command sets the left and right margins simultaneously. 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 memorized 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.
