In PostScript, Margins establish an 'unprintable' area on the page, but
this does NOT cause any shift of the image on the page. The default PostScript
[0,0] is the lower left hand corner of the page.

To shift the data you need to modify the 'initial matrix' using the Install
setpagedevice procedure. For example:

  << /Install { 15 20 translate } bind >> setpagedevice

will shift the data to the right by 15/72 inch and upwards by 20/72 inch.

This will allow you to shift the data on the page. If you need to also shrink
the pages, you can combine this with the 'scale' operator as in:

  << /Install { 15 20 translate .95 .90 scale } bind >> setpagedevice
