Working Within the Guaranteed Imageable Area

The guaranteed imageable areas for print media on your QMS 1660E Print System are not centered vertically on their respective pages and may vary 1/16" (1.6 mm). You can align the image in several different ways:

nAdjust the margins or page size through your application.

nUse the printer’s control panel (Administration/Engine/Image Alignment menu).

nUse the PS Executive Series Utilities. See the on-line help for instructions.

nUse the PostScript translate and scale operators to reduce image size and change its placement on the page.
