X-OFFSET

nnn

Sets

the

print

offset

in

the

X

(horizontal)

direction. nnn can

be

from -999

to 999. The default setting

is 0 pels. Positive values move

the

starting

point

for

printing

to

the

right of the physical point of origin. Negative

values move the starting point for

printing to the left. The physical

point

of

origin

is

towards

the

top

left corner of a portrait page. If you rotate the

page,

the

physical

point

of

origin rotates

as

well.

Note:

The

X-OFFSET and Y-OFFSET

options

are

intended

to

allow

older

line printer print jobs to

fit on a page where edge-to-edge printing is not

possible. Using X-OFFSET and Y-OFFSET is NOT recommended when

generating

new applications, especially duplex applications.

Y-OFFSET

the

print

offset

in

the

(vertical)

direction. nnn

0 pels. Positive values move the starting point

for

printing

down

from

the

physical point of origin. Negative

values

move

the

starting

point

for

printing up. The

physical

point

of
