To set skip over perforation to provide a one-inch margin using
SelecType, set the 1ā
SKIP
option by following
the
steps in the
CHANGE MACRO section earlier in this chapter.
Note: Most application programs take care of top and bottom
margins. Therefore, do
not
turn on skip over perforation unless your
program does not provide
these
margins.
