Margins and image area

The image area is the part of the paper where the image appears. When the printer places an image on the paper, the image area is a bit smaller than the actual paper size. You may need to adjust the page margins in your application software to match the image area. The printer must be set for either American- or Metric-size media (set the rear panel switch, Switch 6, up for metric and down for American).

The difference between the image area and the paper size for the top margin (side of the paper that enters the printer first) and the side margins are 5 mm (0.2 in.). The bottom margin (side of the paper that enters the printer last) is about 6.3 mm (0.25 in.). The following illustration shows the top, bottom, and side margins.
