up to 4.2 mm (0.165") from the edges	a

able area, the maximum area on which
the printer can print clearly and without					Area
distortion.
This area is subject to both hardware
limits (the physical media size and the	a
margins required by the printer) and		a = 4.2 mm (0.165")
software constraints (the amount of

memory available for the full-page frame buffer). The guaranteed imageable (printable) area for all media sizes is the page size minus 4.2 mm (0.165") from all edges of the media.

Page Margins

Margins are set through your application. Some applications allow you to set custom page sizes and margins while others have only standard page sizes and margins from which to choose. If you choose a standard format, you may lose part of your image (due to imageable area constraints). If you can cus- tom-size your page in your application, use those sizes given for the imagea- ble area for optimum results.
