the top margin is 0.14” a minimum for the particular printer

to become 0.40”. OK is clicked and thepage prints with the Nutricircle roughly centered in the page.

Example:

By increasing the left and right margins, the size of the Nutricircle is reduced to fit within the new printregion defined by the margins. By reducing the size proportionally, the top and bottom margins areincreased as well. In the following example, a single Nutricircle is to be printed in portrait format. Theleft and right margins are initially 0.90”,The bottom margin is reported at -0.53”.

To correct the problem, 0.10” is added to the left and right margin bringing each to 1.0”. The resultingchanges are as follows: top margin remains at 0.14” and the bottom increases to -0.19. The steps

are repeated again, adding 0.25” to left and right margins. The top margin remains unchanged a0.14”; while the bottom margin increases to 0.66”. To make the top and bottom margins equal, thetop margin is adjusted to 0.40”, which causes bottom margin
