Media Storage and Handling 39
What Is the guaranteed imageable (printable) area?
Each media size has a specific imageable area, the maximum area on which
the printer can print clearly and without distortion.
This area is subject to both hardware limits (the physical media size and the
margins required by the printer) and software constraints (the amount of
memory available for the full-page frame buffer). The guaranteed imageable
(printable) area for all media sizes is the page size minus 0.157" (4 mm) from
all edges of the media.
Edge-to-Edge Printing
Edge-to-edge printing removes the standard 0.157"
(4 mm) margin from all media sizes. Edge-to-edge
printing requires driver support, but not all drivers
support edge-to-edge printing.
1
Enable edge-to-edge printing through the
printer’s control panel (Administration/Engine/
Edge-to-Edge menu).
2
From the PagePro 9100 Windows printer driver,
select PostScript custom page size and set it to match the actual media
size. From the PagePro 9100 Macintosh printer driver, select custom
page size and set it to match the actual media size.
3
Set your margins to 0 from the appropriate application. Certain
applications will not support edge-to-edge printing.
Printing outside the 0.157" (4 mm) margin is nonguaranteed. The
nonguaranteed area is the area on which you can print, but image quality in
these areas might be compromised.
For further information, refer to the readmes on the Documentation
CD-ROM.
Envelopes
Envelopes have a nonguaranteed flap area that varies with envelope type.
Envelope print orientation is determined by your application.
