Positioning an image 4
When you draw an image, you determine its size at the computer. It's
important that you know the size of the image and load the appropriate
size media because the printer automatically defines the print area
based on the loaded media's width. If the image you send from the
computer is of a different length or width than the print area defined for
the loaded media size, you can change one or all of the following:
• Print area width—If the loaded media causes the print area to
be the wrong width, consult the media standard tables and use
media of the appropriate width.
• Print area length—If the loaded media causes the print area to
be the wrong length, set the Frame Length option in the Page
Format menu to the appropriate length, or use roll media.
• Print area margin—If you require a narrower margin, set the
Margins option in the Page Format menu to Expand. (The
Expand setting for the Margins option expands the print area
and decreases the margins.)
Selecting the media standard
Some media sizes, particularly sheet media, are non-standard or so
similar to other media sizes that the printer “assumes” the standard and
defines a print area for media of a similar size within a different
standard. If this happens, you should specify a standard for the media
option so that the printer can match the loaded media to the closest
media size within the specified standard and define the appropriate
print area.
