In the Designer

1.   Locate the PageSettings property for C1PrintDocument in the Properties window and click the ellipsis button  next to it. This will open the Page Setup dialog box.

3.   Click OK to close the Page Setup dialog box.

In Code

•      Visual Basic

' Set the page margins in the default unit (inches).

Me.C1PrintDocument1.PageSettings.Margins.Top = 200

Me.C1PrintDocument1.PageSettings.Margins.Bottom = 200

Me.C1PrintDocument1.PageSettings.Margins.Left = 200

Me.C1PrintDocument1.PageSettings.Margins.Right = 200

•      C#

// Set the page margins in the default unit (inches).

this.c1PrintDocument1.PageSettings.Margins.Top = 200;
