for the conversion if *WSCST is specified on the MFRTYPMDL parameter.
If you are If you are performing a conversion to PDF or TIFF this value
should be QWPTIFFPB or QWPTIFFG4. I have also found that *WSCSTLETTER

a conversion to PCL this value should be the name of a workstation customization
object.

attempt to correct with this before using the LMARO and TMARO parameters.
Reducing this number will reduce the margin sizes in effect making more
room for the image to be placed into the document. Raising this number
will have the opposite affect.
- Left margin offset
- Enter a value to offset the left margin. A positive number will make
the left margin larger. A negative number will make the left margin
smaller. Keep in mind that if your document is actually landscape, this
will affect what will become the top margin, so a positive number will
descrease the top margin.
- Top margin offset
- Enter a value to offset the top margin. A positive number will make
the top margin smaller. A negative number will make the top margin larger.
Keep in mind that if your document is actually landscape, this will
