HP Designjet 4500 Printer series - Manual (Page 161)

● Using a Mac OS 9 or 10.1 printer driver: create a custom paper size with zero margins, and take
into account that the margins added to the final job will be the ones that are set in the printer's
front panel.
● Using a newer Mac OS printer driver: select the printer in the Format for popup menu, select
the paper size, and then margins options will appear. You can select the oversize page and the
margins at the same time.
● Using the Embedded Web Server: on the Submit Job page, select Oversize from the Margin
layout list.
● Using the front panel: select Default printing options > Paper options > Select layout >
Oversize.
When using oversize pages, you can select the width of the margins as usual (see Adjust the
margins).

Print without added margins
For technical reasons, it is impossible to print an image that covers the full width or length of the
paper. There must always be a margin around the image. However, if your image already contains
adequate margins (white space around the edges) then you can tell the printer not to add margins to
the image when printing it. In this case it will, in fact, clip the edges of your image, assuming that the
edges contain nothing that needs to be printed.
You can request no added margins in the following ways:
● Using the Windows HP-GL/2 printer driver: select the Paper/Quality tab and press the Margins/
Layout button, then select Clip Contents By Margins from the layout options.
● Using the Embedded Web Server: on the Submit Job page, select Clip Contents By Margins
from the Margin layout list.
● Using the front panel: select Default printing options > Paper options > Select layout > Clip
contents by margins.
This option is not available from the Windows PostScript driver or the Mac OS drivers.
When using this option, you can select the width of the margins as usual (see Adjust the margins).
The printer continues to use margins: it just takes them out of the image instead of adding them to
the image.
Select the orientation of the image
The orientation of the image may be portrait or landscape. When you see it on screen:
● The height of a portrait image is greater than its width (a tall image).
