Letter, Legal, Executive, A4, A5, and A6 are standard page sizes. The
printable areas on these standard page sizes are equal to those of LaserJet
sheet-feed printers:
•
For standard page sizes, this printer, like other PCL and PostScript
printers, enforces a top and bottom no-print zone. If you specify a
standard page size but fail to provide top and bottom margins of at
least
1
/
6
in. (in the PCL emulation) or
1
/
5
in. (in the PostScript
emulation), then any part of each page falling in the no-print zone is
not printed.
Note: In the PCL emulation, the printer contains a preset top margin
of
1
/
2
in. for standard paper sizes. The preset top and bottom
margins limit a standard Letter-size (8
1
/
2
x 11 in.) page, for
example, to about 10 in. in length, well within the 10
2
/
3
limits
imposed by the
1
/
6
in., no-print restriction at the top and
bottom of standard PCL pages.
•
This printer, like an HP LaserJet printer, restricts the maximum width
of the print zone to 8 in. (203 mm). If your print job fails to limit a
Letter-size (8
1
/
2
x 11 in.) page, for example, to 8 in. in width, any part
of each page falling in the no-print zone is not printed.
A Custom size allows you to specify a customized or special form size.
Unlike the standard page sizes, custom form sizes allow printing from perf
to perf the entire form length. The printable length may vary from
1
/
2
in. to 33 in. (12 mm to 873 mm). The printable width may vary up to 8
in. (203 mm). The custom width is set in the
Frm Width=...
option in the
Extended Configuration Menu.
See Setting Up a Page Size in Section 2, Operations, for either a standard
page or a custom form.
