Page size

Page size can be specified from the front panel or in the software, where it may be called “Page Size”, “Media Size”, “Paper Size”, etc., and where the options include, for example, ISO A3, ANSI Letter, Custom. If your software does not define the page size in the print file, the front-panel setting is used. Otherwise, the software setting overrides the front-panel setting.

Margins

The margins are set to ensure the maximum printable area on your paper. The two side margins are 5.0 mm. The margin settings for the leading and trailing edges are 17 mm.

However, if you are using roll paper and you select small margins, the margins are 5 mm on all four sides.

Printing area

The printing area is the page size minus the margins. For a table showing the printing areas for standard paper sizes, see Printable area.

Inked area

inked area is the smallest rectangle that contains the entire image.
