Controlling the Page Format
Page Format
5-3
Page size Page size can be specified from the front panel or in the software, where it may be
called ”Page Size”, “Media Size”, “Paper Size” etc., and where the options include,
for example, ISO A3, ANSI Letter, Custom, etc. If your software does not put a
page size command in the print file, the front-panel setting is used. Otherwise, the
software setting overrides the front-panel setting.
NOTE There is one exception to this rule. If the front-panel setting is Inked area and you
are sending a PostScript file, the front panel setting is used. See page 5-5,
Adjusting the Page Size in the Front Panel.
Margins Margins are normally 27 mm on the leading and trailing edges and 15 mm on the
sides. The 27 mm can be adjusted for roll media, as explained on page 5-12,
Adjusting Margins for Roll and Sheet Media.
Printing area Printing area is the page size minus the margins. For a table showing the printing
areas for standard media sizes, see page 13-8, Printing Area (= Media Size Minus
Margins).
Inked area Inked area is the smallest rectangle that contains the entire image, while
maintaining its aspect ratio (relative height and width dimensions).
