The top margin position can be specified with the following option.

If the top margin is set too high or too low part of the text may not appear due to the printer's unprintable region. The top

specified in rows from the top margin. Setting this value may affect the number of lines specified using the page length
option.
If this option is not specified the command will not be sent so the printer's default value will be used.
