Printing area

Paper and special media

The shaded portion in the following figure shows the recommended printing area for paper and special media. The printer’s mechanical printing area is inside the 3 mm top/bottom margins. However, we recommend setting the margins greater than 22 mm because the print quality degrades below this.
