If you do not find all copier paper sizes under

Size, click [Printer] and then

select [KONICA MINOLTA 950 PS(Plug)] as current printer to make the

paper sizes of the copier available. – In MS Word, open [File]

» [Print],

select [KONICA MINOLTA 950 PS(Plug)], and close the Print dialog to

select your copier as the current printer.

Note that the document page size may be different from the paper size on

which you print. E.g. if you print using booklet layout, the paper size will be

twice the document page size. The output paper size can be selected in

the Layout panel. See section 6.3.2 “Layout” for details.

Selecting non-zero margins will warn you if you place printing elements

outside the margins and try to print.

6.1.1

Full bleed, Wide page and paper size

The common way to print Full Bleed is simply checking the “Full Bleed”

box in the Layout panel of the printer driver. If you do so, the printer driver

will use the whole area of the paper to place print data on without clearing

a margin around the image area. See also section 6.3.2 “Layout”.

However, for reasons of backward compatibility, you can also print

documents created with older versions of the printer driver in full bleed

mode using wide paper sizes.

Detail

Normal page sizes, e.g. A4 and Letter, are defined with a margin (8

PostScript points, 2.8 mm, 1/9 of an inch) on each edge. The imageable

area of the page is smaller than the page size (A4 or Letter) by this

amount. This prevents full bleed printing for normal page sizes.
Wide document page sizes, e.g. A4 Wide and Letter Wide, are defined

with a margin (7 PostScript points, 2.5 mm, 1/10 of an inch) which is

added on each edge of the page. The wide page size is bigger than the

base page size (A4 or Letter) by this amount. The imageable area is

equal to the base page size. This allows you to compose documents

which fill the base page size to the edge. By default, a job with wide

page size will be printed on wide paper.
