Physical Page Shift allows the print image to be shifted either or both horizontally
and vertically on the page. This allows the image position of different printers to
be adjusted to match, or pre-printed material can be aligned exactly.

The specified unit of measure is 300 dots per inch (dpi) so a measure of 1 equals
1/300th inch, or 300 equals 1 inch.

Movement is controlled using positive and negative measure around the X
(Horizontal) and Y (Vertical) axis. Up and left directions are plus (+) and down
and right directions are minus (-).

For example, if H = -75 (-¼”) and Y = -150 (-½”), the print image will be shifted
¼” to the right and ½” down.

To shift the image, enter the required number of units (dots) in the Horizontal
and/or Vertical boxes as required.

For example:

X (Horizontal) = -75

Y (Vertical)

= -150

( Up ) Left

* Down + Right
