with the Soft Terminal Reset (DECSTR) or the Reset to Initial State (RIS) sequence.
Backward Compatibility
The page formats described in this section are compatible with previous
Digital printers. That is, the line home position is the first printable position
on the left of the page, and the page home line is the top line on the page.
Likewise, the private PFS values, ?20 through ?23, set the margins, the line
home position, and the page home line to the edge of the printable area, for
compatibility with previous Digital printers. The PFS values depend upon the
values in effect for character and line spacing.
