Margin
The space at the edges of a page in which no printing occurs. There
are four margins: left, right, top, and bottom. In application
software, margins are usually expressed in inches, centimeters, or
points. In printer commands, left and right margins are specified as
columns, while top and bottom margins are specified as lines.
Page printers have a minimum margin, typically of about .2 inch (5
mm), on all four sides, called the nonprint margin. No printing
occurs in this margin. If the application sofware specifies a margin
of 0, actual printing begins at the edge of the nonprint margin. See
also Printable area.

Orientation
