Gnuplot - Y Axis further away from screen

I have the following problem: My Graph in gnuplot looks good, except that the label on the y axis is overlaid by the y-tics. Or the other way around. Since the label is already on the edge of the figure, I would need the y-axis be further "inwards".

I attached my "problem". Please not that I can not change the font size of neither the label nor the tics. https://i.sstatic.net/OJQkW.png

Since you don't post any code, I would advice to make the left margin bigger, then edit the labels position. See help margin and help ylabel from an interactive session, or check the pdf manual.

For example:

set lmargin 10
set ylabel offset -3,0

You will probably need to search and try adequate values. Please note that the default units are "characters" (width or height).

Also note that the results can be terminal-dependent.
