Solution 1: Check the margin settings

the printer.
To check your margin settings
1. Preview your print job before sending it to the printer.
In most software applications, click the File menu, and then click Print
Preview.
2. Check the margins.
The printer uses the margins you have set in your software application, as long
as they are greater than the minimum margins the printer supports. For more
information about setting margins in your software application, see the
documentation that came with the software.
3. Cancel the print job if the margins are not satisfactory, and then adjust the
margins in your software application.
Cause: The margins were not set correctly in your software application.
If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.
Solution 2: Check the layout of the document
Solution: Make sure the layout of the document you are trying to print fits on a
paper size supported by the printer.
To preview the print layout
1. Load the correct paper size into the input tray.
2. Preview your print job before sending it to the printer.
In most software applications, click the File menu, and then click Print
Preview.
3. Check the graphics in the document to make sure that the current size fits
within the printable area of the printer.
4. Cancel the print job if the graphics do not fit in the printable area of the page.
TIP: Some software applications allow you to scale the document to fit the
paper size currently selected. Additionally, you can scale the size of a
document from the print Properties dialog box.
