Is it possible to set or adjust the start and end points for printing in Versaworks 6 for a Truevis SG3-540 printer, without using the "Move" function on the printer?

No, the context only describes adjusting the output-start location by using the "Move" function. There is no mention of setting or adjusting start and end points for printing in VersaWorks 6 without using the "Move" function.
