Each printer will have a minimum margin (the minimum margins vary due to printer), if you have the paper setting dialog box, set the margin is less than the minimum margins, then your settings will not work . This allows you to preformattedly printing will be such a problem: you have to set a minimum the left (upper) margin, but the print out of what is still the right side (lower side). At this time, you can set marginIgnored attribute true, in this mode, the control will be mandatory on the up, down, left, right margin is zero, ignoring all of your code or Page Setup dialog box in the margin settings.

v4.2.0.0
Added visual design features for preformatted printing.

In previous versions, if the user wants to design preformatted printing templates, you must do a good job through a HTML authoring tool,such as FrontPage,DreamWeaver ,and then print it out, if we find there are deviations in the location of the contents , we need further adjustment in HTML authoring tools, and then print it out, so repeated several times, inefficient. Now with visual design capabilities, enabling users to adjust the position, not only that, since the control in the specified location is to real, visual print environment, so that users do not consider the factor of the page margins, so that a complete WYSIWYG, can greatly enhance the efficiency of preformatted printing design.

In addition, we also found that even with the same pages, there are differences in relative positions with the different printers , some of the printer print out the contents tightly, while others print loosely, which kinds of bias can not be fixed with page margins. With the visual design feature that allows users adjust the location of the contents according to their own printer, and save it to the registry, the next printing, automatically load settings from the registry.
