What can I do with this system value?
You can choose whether to include a border (*PRTBDR), a header (*PRTHDR), both (*PRTALL), or none (*NONE) when the Print key is pressed.
For example, if you select to display border and header information when you press the Print key, a header containing the device name and the user name is written above the screen print for identification purposes. Also, a border composed of asterisks is written around the screen print. Line numbers are also added in both of the side margins in the screen print.
