Margins and print area

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

Note To assure the correct page margins, use the drivers supplied on the printer’s CD-ROM and diskettes.

The following table and illustration show the page sizes, the largest print areas, and the margins for the media sizes supported on this printer.
