BASIC CONCEPTS
System page
The maximum area in which graphics and text can be imaged is called the “system page.”
Edgemarking To accommodate edgemarking, which is the placement of marks along the edge of the physical page, the system page must be larger than the physical page. The edgemarking capability is limited because the system page boundaries correspond to the physical page on at least two edges for all paper sizes.
Virtual page
The area chosen for printing is called the “virtual page” and may or may not be as large as the system page. If you do not define its dimensions explicitly, the virtual page dimensions are, by default, the same as the
If you explicitly define virtual page size (using the LANDSCAPE/ PORTRAIT command PAGE SIZE parameter), the defined area is centered relative to the physical page dimensions.
The virtual page is assigned a landscape orientation by default, or you can specify an orientation either with the LANDSCAPE/ PORTRAIT command or using the GRID command's FMTn option.
The upper left corner of the virtual page is called the “virtual page origin.” The virtual page origin is also used to establish a form origin.
