Introduction

This chapter lists the media sizes and imageable areas supported by the QMS 1660E Print System, and then provides information on selecting and storing media.

Media Sizes, Imageable Areas, and Margins

Your printer supports media in a number of sizes. Each media size has a certain guaranteed imageable area. Some media sizes also have an enhanced image-area.

▲Caution: The media size must match the cassette size. Since the cassette sends a size signal to the printer controller, using the wrong size media will cause your image to be positioned incorrectly on the page or clipped. You may purchase additional cassettes from your QMS vendor.

Guaranteed Imageable Area

The guaranteed imageable area is the area on which the printer is guaranteed to print clearly and without distortion. This area is subject to both hardware limits (the physical media size and the margins required by the printer) and software constraints (the amount of memory available for the full-page frame buffer).
