[MARGINS][PAGE LENGTH]left margin changes when I define the pagelength

[yp56]

Hello,
I want to use the escape commands to define the margins of the document. I use this :
<esc>E : init
<esc>&l#P : the page length
<esc>&l#F : the text length
<esc>&a#L : the left margin
<esc>&a#M : the text width
<esc>&l#E : the top margin

So this my sequence :
<esc>E<esc>&l20P<esc>&l20F<esc>&a0L<esc>&a85M<esc>&l1E

When I send this sequence My left margin is bigger than if if I send this one :
<esc>E<esc>&l20F<esc>&a0L<esc>&a85M<esc>&l1E
I remove the page length escap command.

Why my margin is not the same ? How can I send the page length without my left margin is changed ?
thanks

OOPS!

The PAPERLENGTH and PAPERWIDTH are on page A40, but that appears to be ONLY for Design Jet printers. The PAPER variable is on p A-35.
