Chapter 2 for instructions.

Check the settings of the Margins option. When Margins are set to Normal (the default),
the print area is smaller than when Margins are set to Expanded. Try setting the Margins
option to Expanded to make the print area larger.

load your media. (See the Quick Start Guide.)
