If the media is A4 size
Standard mode: The width of the allowable cutting area is 190 mm.
Expanded mode: The width of the allowable cutting area is 200 mm.
If registration marks are used, the allowable width is 190 mm.

• To change the mode from Standard to Expanded or vice versa, click "Properties" in the
"Print" window and then select the desired mode in "Margin Settings" on the "Basic
Settings" tab. The default setting is "Standard" mode.
• Align the left and right edges with the vertical guidelines, making sure that the sheet is
straight.
