Introduction

This chapter lists the media sizes and imageable areas supported by the QMS 4060 Print System, and then provides information on selecting and storing media.

Media Sizes and Imageable Areas

Your printer supports media in a number of sizes. Each media size has a certain imageable area, the maximum area on which the printer can print. 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).

»Note: Ensure that the media size matches the tray size (for example, letter/A4 media must be loaded only when the tray is set to letter/A4 size). Since the media tray sends a media size signal to the printer controller, using a wrong size media will cause your image to be positioned incorrectly on the page or clipped and can result in paper jams.

Imageable Area

The 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).
