• n =3 Full justification puts extra spaces where necessary so that both the left and
right margins are aligned.
• Full justification (n = 3) is performed when the printer receives (at the time when
printing starts) data exceeding 75% of the maximum number of characters to be
printed in a line.
• Print position will be affected by the commands which set the left/right margin.
• This command causes a print block change. If there is data in the print buffer and
this command is sent, the data will be printed before the justification takes affect.
Note: When you use the Auto Justification, use carriage returns at the end of
paragraphs only, not at the end of each line of text.
26) Margins—define left margin
(a) Code: ESC % C n1 n2 n3
(b) Compatibility: ML
(c) Function:
Define the logical left-most printing position limitation from the left most-physical print
position in units of 1/120 inch.
(d) Range:
• Variable
ASCII Decimal Hexadecimal
n1 0 – 9 48 – 57 30 – 39
n2 0 – 9 48 – 57 30 – 39
n3 0 – 9 48 – 57 30 – 39
• Argument “n1n2n3”
narrow chassis 000-900 × 1/120 inches (approx. 7.5 inches max.)
wide chassis 000-999 × 1/120 inches (approx. 8.3 inches max.)
(e) Out of range:
• If any digit is out of range, the command is ignored.
(f) Logical limitation:
• If n1n2n3 exceeds the maximum value, the command will also be ignored.
• Set number difference between right margin and left margin must be a minimum
of 60, otherwise the command will be ignored.
(g) Details:
• n1n2n3 is a 3 digit ASCll number. Since all digits must be defined, any number
that does not use all digits must be padded with leading zeros.
EXAMPLE: 8 → 008.
• When n1n2n3 = 000, the command will be ignored.
• When n1n2n3 = 001, the left margin will be cleared.
• If the left margin is defined after one or more characters have been sent to the
current print line, the left margin will not become valid for the current print line,
but will be valid on the next print line.
