5.1.9 Cursor Origin

The Cursor Origin group box in the Paper Sizes dialog box contains four con-trols which specify the cursor-origin coordinates for portrait and landscape
mode. These coordinates are specified in master units. By default, the Microsoft Windows Universal Printer Driver aligns the cursor origin with the intersection of the top and left unprintable regions. If it is necessary to alter the origin for your printer, you must also check the MD_USE_CURSOR_ORG box in the ModelData fGeneral dialog box. (Generally, it is only necessary to set these values for printers that use a page-description language such as the HP PCL printers.)

Diconix 150 Plus

For the Diconix 150 Plus printer, the default cursor origin is used for both the portrait and landscape print modes; therefore, the four boxes in the Cursor Origin control are empty.

HP LaserJet IIP

For the HP LaserJet IIP printer, the default cursor origin was used for portrait mode; therefore, the Portrait X box contains the value specified in the Left Unprintable Region box (68) and the Portrait Y box contains the value specified in the Top Unprintable Region box (75). However, the default cursor origin is not satisfactory for landscape mode. In this mode, it is necessary to adjust the cursor origin in order to obtain the desired output on the page. The Landscape X box contains the value 60 and the Landscape Y box contains the value 66.
