Subj: LEFT MARGIN:DMP105

Does anyone know how to send a left-margin setting to a  Tandy DMP-105 printer?
I've tried two ways:
 
Using the printer manual: a left margin string is not listed but there is a
"print head positioning" command. I am having no luck with that. It works if I
create a short program with an "lprint" to text in the same program, but the
printer  will not "hold" the left margin string when printing a text  using the
"shift print" keys.
 
Using a program: (other than UR-II: this excellent ROM chip  works fine of
course but there are applications where'd I'd  rather not use it.) There's a
program on this BBS called  DMP105.BA that does set the left margin but it also
formats  my text so all the lines are one word long! If I could  isolate the
lines of the program that set the left margin  this might help me, but I don't
know that much about  programming.
 
Thanks, Paul.
