Generally, you should leave a 1-inch margin at both the top and the bot-
tom of the page. This provides for a margin of six lines at 1/6 inch line
spacing. Even though printing in area 1 (before or after the perforation)
may be possible, you s hould keep in mind that paper feed precision is reli-
able only within the Assured Print Area.
