1. Create a figure by executing the following command:

plot(1:10)

2. The page header of the current figure can be set by executing the following commands:

hs = getappdata(gcf,'PrintHeaderHeaderSpec');

if isempty(hs)

    hs = struct('dateformat','none',...

                'string','',...

                'fontname','Times',...

                'fontsize',12,...          % in points

                'fontweight','normal',...

                'fontangle','normal',...

                'margin',72);            % in points

end

currentPage = 1;

totalPages = 10;

hs.string = ['Header: Page ' num2str(currentPage) ' of ' num2str(totalPages)];

setappdata(gcf,'PrintHeaderHeaderSpec',hs);

3. The header will be visible when the figure is printed or previewed by selecting "File -> Print Preview".
