Printable Area

The printer can print to the horizontal page perforations and within ½-inch (12.7 mm) of either vertical (tractor hole) edge of the form. See Figure 46. With tractorless paper, the printer can print to ½-inch (12.7 mm) from either edge of the form without print quality degradation.

Print quality may be degraded when printing near folding perforations, an internal perforation, or any cut in the form. To ensure correct operation and print quality, maintain the following distances:

From non-folding and internal perforations: 0.05-inch (1.27 mm)

From folding perforations: for text, OCR, and bar codes: 0.33-inch (8.5 mm); for images and solid-area fill: 0.05- inch (1.27 mm)

From binder holes and cuts: 0.1 inch-(2.54 mm).
