Page break

A page break or hard page break is a code inserted by a software program such as Word processor that tells the printing device where to end the current page and begin the next page. After a page break is inserted into a document a symbol indicating the page break will be displayed, you will be placed on the next page, or a line with "Page Break" will be printed as shown in the below picture.
