In this command the parameters m
1
and m
2
define the top margin
distance from the top of form to the top edge of the first line. The
unit is n /1440 inch. Calculate the values for m
1
and m
2
according to
the following formula:
m
1
= integer value (top margin in 1/1400 inch
increments /256)
m
2
= top margin in 1/1400 inch increments - (m
1
*256)
The parameters p
1
and p
2
defines the bottom margin distance from
the top of form to the top edge of the bottom margin. The unit is n /
1440 inch. The calculation follows the above listed formula. The
bottom margin is the distance from the top of form to the bottom edge
of the last line.
