Printable Area Character Cell Positioning

The HP LaserJet printers perform pixel-level clipping. When printing characters or graphics, if any portion of the character cell or graphic is outside the printable area, only that portion outside the printable area is clipped (see Figure 2-4).

	Figure 2-4 Printable Area Character Cell Positioning

Notes	Pixel level clipping can also occur at the logical page for PCL when
	the page is positioned using the Left Registration command.
	Pixel level clipping also occurs at the picture frame for HP-GL/2.
	Characters are clipped if they fall across a margin (left, right, top, and
	bottom). Refer to “Text Area” in Chapter 5 for additional information.
