Minimum printing margins

The printer cannot print outside a certain area of the page, so you must make sure the contents of your document fall within the printable area—that is, within the top, bottom, left, and right margins available for the specific size paper on which you are printing.

When you use nonstandard paper sizes and select the Custom Paper Size setting in the HP print settings box, the paper width must be between 3 and 8.5 inches (77 and 215 mm) and the paper length must be between 3 and 14 inches (77 and 356 mm).
