15.Press the ! key to continue.

The control panel displays a screen that shows the following information:

Media size

Print area

Right & left margins — if you enter 0 (zero), you can also specify an amount of overprint (printing past the edge of the media). This enables you to achieve an edge-to- edge printing effect without an unprinted border, espe- cially if the media is skewed or not a perfect rectangle. Protect the platen with tape or a strip of media to catch the overprinted ink.

Leading margin

Trailing margin — 6.50 inches (165 mm) minimum to allow the pinch rollers to feed the media. If you set the Trailing Margin to 0 and want to print to the trailing edge, you must attach a trailer of the same media to the trailing edge so the pinch rollers can feed the media all the way past the print zone.

Note Before a print job is received, you can unload the media at any time by pressing the Unload key on the Front Page screen of the control panel.
