What’s the ‘automatic margin’ here?
I will warn, I can be particular. I like a typewriter with an automatic margin and the type bar separate from the carriage. Preferably a Royal or L. C. Smith. These were used at the Selective Service office, and I got accustomed.

Answer

It's how you set up the position of your writing on a printed/typed sheet.  We usually prefer that there is a clear space on either side of the sheet of paper, so the words do not reach the edge.  When you create a document in Word for example, you usually have an automatic margin of 3 cm on each side of the page.

I hope this helps.
