paper. |

a. Take the maximum paper width size 11.7 in. (297 mm) and subtract 3.67 in. (93 mm) for the width of the paper. Take the answer, 8.1 in. (204 mm), and divide it by 2, which equals 4.1 in. (102 mm).
In your software application, select a left margin of 4.1 in. (102 mm) and a right margin of 4.1 in. (102 mm).
b. If your software allows, also set the bottom margin. Take the maximum paper length size, 17.7 in. (450 mm), and subtract 7.5 in. (191 mm), the length of the paper. The bottom margin equals 10.2 in. (259 mm).
