  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The Page Setup panel -> Text tab allows the user to set margin
  values to be used by 3270 host printing. These values are
  ignored unless the Use Best Fit Scaling box is checked. The
  on-line help and the Information Center documents do not say
  that Best Fit is required to use the margin settings.
  

Problem conclusion

• PCSPD.EXE has been changed to enable the Top Margin and Left
  Margin values to be used by 3270 host print with or without
  the use of Best Fit scaling function.
  
  For Bi-Directional users, this new function allows the use of
  Top Margin and BiDi Margin values with or without Best Fit. In
  Left-to-Right mode, BiDi Margin affects the Left side of the
  printout. In Right-to-Left mode, BiDi Margin affects the right
  side of the printout.
