Page margins are the blank areas left around the text and pictures appearing on a page. Their original purpose was to allow space for positioning errors of the paper on the printing press and allow space for the binding and final trimming of the edges of pages into books or magazines after printing the pages, so that all of the text would be visible and readable. Readers frequently scribbled notes in the margins while reading to record their ideas about the text.

Why do you set the various page margins of your document?

In most applications you want to print something. On a page you need to know the working area of the page. You set margins to define that area. Sometimes you may adjust margins in order to make the working area of the page bigger so that you can fit more onto the page. You should always have some margins to enable you to do things around the edge of the page like bind pages or punch holes in them and not interfere with the text. You also need space for headers and footers. They go into the margin areas.
