Format
SPW width;
Parameter
width:
width of page, from left margin to right margin
Function
The SPW command sets the right margin, as measured from the left margin position in
the unit value designated by the UNIT command.
If an attempt is made to print beyond the right margin, the characters are printed on the
next line in the IBM and Epson emulation modes and discarded in the other emulations.
The SRM (Set Right Margin) command also sets the right margin, but it measures from
the left edge limit of the paper.
