Margins and print area

When the printer places an image on paper, the image is a bit smaller than the paper size. You may need to adjust the page margins in your application software to match the print area.

Perforated paper and transparencies

Use Tektronix perforated paper or transparencies and the Tektronix Phaser 220i or Phaser 220e driver to get the largest image areas. With Tektronix perforated paper or transparencies, you can print the largest area and tear off the excess at the perforation. This gives full A or A-4 Letter-size images within ISO margins.

This illustration shows the largest image areas for perforated paper and transparencies. All margins are 5 mm (0.2 in.). The bottom margin is 5 mm (0.2 in) after the perforated area is removed.
