Margin

The space at the edges of a page in which no printing occurs. There

are four margins: left, right, top, and bottom. In application
software, margins are usually expressed in inches, centimeters, or
points. In printer commands, left and right margins are specified as

columns, while top and bottom margins are specified as lines.

Page printers have a minimum margin, typically of about .2 inch (5

mm), on all four sides, called the nonprint margin. No printing

occurs in this margin. If the application sofware specifies a margin

of 0, actual printing begins at the edge of the nonprint margin. See

also Printable area.

control panel to allow remote operation of printers.

of the paper are at the top and bottom is called portrait orientation.
