PDL principles and procedures Logical page A "logical page" is a user defined page image that is bordered by Top of Form and Bottom of Form and left and right margin specifications. Up to 63 logical pages can be defined on a physical page. NOTE: You are not able to specify right margins on logical pages. The right margin size is determined by the left margin and the line length. Edgemarking "Edgemarking" occurs when text or graphics are printed outside the physical sheet, giving the appearance of printing on the edge of the paper. Refer to the "OUTPUT OSTK" command description in the "Specifying print format parameters" chapter for more information on edgemarking. NOTE: Edgemarks must start within the system page, although they may print mostly outside the page boundaries. Elements that do not print Elements of a page, that is, text and graphics, may begin at the edge of the physical page and may even extend off the page. However, if any part of a printed element begins off the system page, then no part of the element is imaged. • If a line of variable data begins off the system page, no part of the line is printed. • A ruled line must originate inside the system page in order for the line to print. • If a ruled line begins off the system page, no part of the line is printed. Orientation There are two types of text orientation on a page: • Portrait • Landscape The vertical and horizontal positions for each of these orientations are shown in the following figures.
