Are there any adjustments for the printable area on the Apple LaserWriter?
In particular, there seems to be some variation in the printable area
on a friend's Apple LaserWriter from other Apple LaserWriters I have
used -- it seems as though his printer has an imagable area about one
12 pts. narrower than others I have used.

According to the Red Book (p. 299), the "setmargins" command will adjust the margins of the page. The format is: top left setmargins where 'top' and 'left' operands are integers that specify how much to widen the top margin or lengthen the left margin. The units are in pixels (300/inch for the LaserWriter). A positive number increases the margin, a negative number decreases it. The command "margins" will return these settings. If you need more help, let me know since I've been meaning to play with this feature anyway. Jim jim@alw.nih.gov
