:first

The :first CSS pseudo-class, used with the @page at-rule, represents the first page of a printed document. (See :first-child for general first element of a node.)

/* Selects the first page when printing */ @page :first {   margin-left: 50%;   margin-top: 50%; } 

Note: You can't change all CSS properties with this pseudo-class. You can only change the margins, orphans, widows, and page breaks of the document. Furthermore, you may only use absolute-length units when defining the margins. All other properties will be ignored.
