Horizontal offset (0.1 mm)

0, 30, 60

The default left margin in PCL5e is 6 mm. (approx. 0.25 in.) This can be changed to 0 mm, which then causes the PCL5e interpreter to start printing on the left edge of the physical page, while the nominal page will also be enlarged by 12 mm so it extends to the right edge of the physical page.

NOTE

This can result in clipping by the rest of the print path. For backwards compatibility with the 31x5, also a margin of 3mm is supported.
