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.

Orientation
