Text length and the bottom margin
By default, the LaserPrinter 4111automatically gives you top and bottom
margins of the same size. So you only need to send the Text Length command
when you want different top and bottom margins.
If you want a different bottom margin, first decide how many text lines will
produce the margin you want. Check that they won't produce a bottom
margin lower than the page length. Then send the following Text Length
command, entering for
}7
your desired number of lines:
<ESC> &tn F
The Page Length, Top Margin and Text Length commands therefore work
together to set the bottom margin:
bottom margin = page length – (top margin + text length).
The bottom margin is called the "perforation region" with printers that use
continuous forms. You normally want to skip the perforations between the
continuous pages, but sometimes you don't (for example when you print
labels).
Though you likely won't often want to do it, the Star LaserPrinter 4111 will
let you completely ignore the bottom margin too. If you choose to print below
the bottom margin, remember that you might lose words or graphics in the
unprintable region at the edge of the page. The command looks like this:
<ESC> &?n L
If you want to allow printing below the bottom margin, for n enter O(zero).
But if you want to forbid printing below the margin, which is the default,
enter 1 (one).
