The upper left corner of the virtual page is called the "virtual
page origin," as shown in figure 1-5. The virtual page origin is
also used to establish a form origin.

Physical page
The same coordinate system is used for printing on all Xerox
printers. This limits the printing area in some cases and can
cause you to lose data which begins near, or off, the edge of the
physical page.
Edgemarking is the placement of marks along the edge of the
page. These marks consist of graphic elements that bleed off the
paper, tabs for section reference, or marks that denote changes
made in redline drafts.
To accommodate edgemarking, the system page must be larger
than the physical page. Edgemarking capability is limited on the
LPS because the system page boundaries (such as the 8.6 by 14
inch maximum image size printing area) correspond to the
physical page on at least two edges for all paper sizes.
CAUTION: Be careful when edgemarking. Printing a solid band
on the leading edge of the paper may cause fuser jams.
