Print Area Menu Item
The printable area is the area on a sheet of paper within which a pel can be printed. 
Logical page is a conceptual entity that defines the area in which margins (top, bottom, 
left, right) may be set and the area in which the PCL cursor may be positioned.
The physical page border is the actual physical boundaries of a page.
The 
Print Area 
menu item is available from the printer operator panel or through 
MarkVision Professional. For some printers, Print Area supports three values: Normal, 
Whole Page, and Fit to Page. See your printer documentation for more information
.
The Normal setting, which is the factory default, means the printable area includes the 
entire page except the narrow border around the edge of the page. This is the 
nonprintable area. The printer measures margin settings relative to the logical page.
For a more detailed explanation of the Normal setting, see “Printable Areas” on 
page 2-3.
