End margin has two main functions:
(1) As a D-Top (print signal) is not recognised when initiated in a margin,
the end margin can be used to inhibit random or unrequired D-Top
(print signals).
(2) When changing print direction with a digital input (e.g. printing while
using a traversing print head device), the end margin allows spacing
before the message to correctly position it on the product.
