Where does Margins live in the IronPrint API?

Margins is a value type in the IronPrint namespace, shipped in IronPrint.dll. It is assigned to the PrintSettings.PaperMargins property, which is a Nullable , to set the margins for a print job.

What unit does IronPrint use for print margins?

Margins are measured in millimeters on all four edges. The values are passed to the print driver before rendering, so the output matches them regardless of the printer's default margins. Use new Margins(int uniformMargin) for an equal margin on every side, or Margins.Zero for a borderless layout.

Class Margins

Margins to use for printing (in millimeters).

Inheritance

System.Object

Margins

Namespace: IronPrint

Assembly: IronPrint.dll

Syntax

public sealed class Margins : ValueType

The blank space around printed content on each edge of the sheet lives in a Margins value, measured in millimeters. Set wider margins to meet binding or letterhead requirements, or tighter ones to fit more on the page. A Margins value is assigned to PrintSettings.PaperMargins and applied to the print driver before the page renders, so the output matches the chosen spacing regardless of the printer's own defaults.

Build one with the constructor that fits the job. Margins(int uniformMargin) applies an equal margin to all four sides. Margins(int horizontal, int vertical) sets matched left and right, top and bottom pairs. Margins(int left, int top, int right, int bottom) gives full control of each edge. The static Margins.Zero returns a borderless layout with every edge at zero.

After construction, the Left, Top, Right, and Bottom properties expose each edge for reading or adjustment. Because PaperMargins is a Nullable<Margins> on PrintSettings, leaving it null keeps the printer's own default margins; assign a Margins value only when a document needs specific spacing. The set paper margins guide shows the property in a complete print job.

using IronPrint;

PrintSettings settings = new PrintSettings
{
    PaperMargins = new Margins(20, 15, 20, 15)
};

The print settings guide covers the other options margins combine with, and the paper size guide pairs sheet dimensions with margin spacing.
