Placement of the text or graphics is wrong

Check how the media is loaded

Make sure the media width and length guides fit snugly against the edges of the stack of media, and make sure the tray is not overloaded. See Loading media.

Check the media size

zContent on a page might be cut off if the document size is larger than the media that you are using.

zMake sure the media size selected in the printer driver matches the size of media loaded in the tray. See Changing print settings.

zIf you are using a computer running Windows, select Emulate LaserJet Margins in the printer driver to scale the document to fit the media size currently selected. See Changing print settings.

Check margin settings

If the text or graphics are cut off at the edges of the page, make sure the margin settings for the document do not exceed the printable area of your printer. See Setting minimum margins.

Check the page-orientation setting

Make sure the media size and page orientation selected in the application match the settings in the printer driver. See Changing print settings.

Check the printer location and length of USB cable

High electromagnetic fields (such as those generated by USB cables) can sometimes slightly distort printouts. Move the printer away from the source of the electromagnetic fields. Also, it is recommended that you use a USB cable that is less than 3 meters (9.8 feet) long to minimize the effects of these electromagnetic fields.

If the above solutions do not work, the problem may be caused by the inability of the application to interpret print settings properly. See the release notes for known software conflicts; or refer to the application’s documentation, or contact the software manufacturer for specific help.
