ALT Command Use the ALT command to print page headings and page numbers on alternating sides
of the page. Using this command right justifies the headings and page numbers for
the odd-numbered pages and left justifies for even-numbered pages. Use this
command to produce documents for two-sided reproduction.
The ALT command also produces an additional left margin for odd-numbered pages
only. This feature leaves a larger margin on the bound side of a document than on the
free side.
