Top Margin
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 margin will be ignored if it is set to a value greater than the printer’s
logical page length. 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.
Example: The command to set the top margin to ten lines is “lp -o tm=10 filename”.
Text Length
The text length can be specified using the following options.
If the text length is set too high, the part of the text may not appear due to the printer’s unprint-
able area. The text length will be ignored if it is set to a value greater than the printer’s logical
page length minus the top margin. The text length is specified in rows from the top margin. Set-
ting 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.
Example: The command to set the text length to 40 lines is “lp -o tl=40 filename”.
