Adjusting Margins
The default settings for margins are set to ensure the
maximum printable area on your paper. The two side
margins are 7.0 mm. The margin settings for the trailing
edges of the paper change, depending whether you are
using roll or sheet paper, as shown in the illustrations
below. It is important when working with images which demand a lot of ink that you use the correct paper with
the correct margins, in this case use the normal
margins.
When you send continuous run print jobs to the printer
you can use
Reduced Margins (leading and trailing
edges) to save media.
