The default combination of form size, horizontal and vertical pitches, and
single spacing gives you up to 70 characters per line and up to 60 lines
per page.
If you printed a page using only these formatting defaults, you would get
an output document with a page format like the one shown in Figure 1-1.
This do-nothing formatting is probably sufficient for printing ordinary
documents such as memos or electronic mail messages.
