Defining Overlay/Print Area Options

If custom print areas should be excluded from the print, this can be done with defined areas.
To use these custom areas, PrintAreaFrontOption or PrintAreaBackOption must be set to
defined or undefined areas.

Select defined to exclude all defined areas from the print. Select undefined to exclude

all undefined areas from the print.

Five (5) areas can be defined. The only way to define these areas is via the command

line interface. (Note: This is because these parameters are too complex for the cups
interface. Use 2,3,4 or 5 instead of 1 to address the other print areas.)

To define a print area set Origin X and Y and Length X and Y. Remember that Origin,

Length and Origin + Length must be in the printable area.

The printable area is from 0/0 to 152/242 for CR80 and from 0/0 to 148/238 for CR79.
