CHAPTER 2 PCL - 38 

 

If the current cursor position is to the right of your new right margin setting, the cursor will be moved to the 
new right margin.  

 

The factory default left and right margin settings are at the left and right edges of the logical page 
respectively. 

 

Depending on your model,  margin settings can be made from the printer's control panel (see the User 
Guide).

Resetting the horizontal margins 

Esc9  (27)(39) 

  <1Bh><39h> 

This command resets the left and right margins to the left and right edges of the logical page respectively. 

 

4.2.13.

 

Setting the top margin 

Esc&

l

#E (27)(38)(108)#(69) 

<1Bh><26h><6Ch>#<45h> 

# stands for the distance between the top of the logical page and the top margin in rows. 

 

The row height is as defined by the VMI. If you subsequently change the VMI (or the line spacing) the top 
margin position that you have set does not change - that is, when you specify the top margin position it 
remains fixed physically until you specify a new one or reset it to a default value. 

 

The top margin command is ignored if you try to set a margin greater than the current length of the logical 
page. 

 

The top margin command is ignored if the current VMI is 0. 

 

The factory default top margin setting is half an inch below the top of the logical page. 

 

Depending on your model,  the top margin can be set from the printer's control panel (see the User Guide).
