HP 5961-0509 manual Text Area

Text Area

	Text printing may be restricted to a specific area within the logical
	page using the Left Margin, Right Margin, Top Margin, Text Length,
	and Perforation Skip Mode commands. This area is known as the
	text area.
	The left margin defines the distance between the left edge of the
	logical page and the left edge of the text area. The right margin
	defines the distance between the left edge of the logical page and the
	right edge of the text area. The width of the text area is the distance
	between the left and right margins. The top margin defines the
	distance between the top of the logical page and the top of the text
	area. The text length defines the length of the text area which in effect
	defines the bottom margin. The perforation region is the distance from
	the bottom of the text area to the top of the text area (top margin) on
	the next page. The text area is shown in Figure 5-4.
	In general, characters are printed when they fall within the text area.
	However, characters can be printed between the bottom of the text
	area and the top of the text area on the next page only if perforation
	skip is disabled. Characters are printed outside the text area if a
	cursor move escape sequence positions the cursor outside the text
	area (but within the printable area). Characters that fall on (or outside)
	a margin as a result of printing a character string, are clipped
	(not printed).
Notes	Attempting to print characters across a margin results in the
	characters being discarded.
	The default text area and the default HP-GL/2 picture frame are
	the same.
