5. Control Command Details
The horizontal print position is moved to the left margin position.
If the left margin setting is not at the beginning of the line, the left margin is specified after a line feed.
The beginning of the line indicates the left margin position for left alignment; for right and center alignment,
it means that no image or character is entered on the line.
Even if the character width is changed after the left margin has been specified, the left margin position
does not change.
A left margin setting that puts the left margin position to the right of the right margin position is ignored.
The left margin should be specified at least one column less than the right margin.
If the difference between the right margin position and the left margin position is less than one character,
that character is ignored.
When proportional pitch is specified with the ESC p command, a character width of 10 cpi is applied.
If the print media is continuous length tape, the printing orientation is landscape and the page length is not
specified, commands specifying the left margin are ignored.
