Workable area 

It allows users to edit and cut graphics in the area outside the registration marks when adding 

registration marks by page. 

 

For A4 size media sheet, the workable area is 2.5mm

 

extended from the registration mark on 

left and right sides and 4.5mm extended from the registration mark on top side. On the bottom 

side, it is suggested to leave at least 25mm margin from the edge of media sheet to prevent 

sheets dropping or any error occurred while media sizing. 

 

For A3 size media sheet, the workable area is 10mm

 

extended from the registration mark on the 

left side, 9mm

 

extended from the registration mark on the right side and 11mm extended from 

the registration mark on top side. On the bottom side, it is suggested to leave at least 25mm 

margin from the edge of media sheet to prevent sheets dropping or any error occurred while 

media sizing. 

 

 
 
 
 

Note:

 Select “

Edge

” mode when media sizing to allow the media sheet to be unrolled. If 

you select “

Single

” mode, the media sheet will not be able to be moved back and hence 

fail to be detected by front paper sensor.
