Margins and print area
When the image is printed on the media, the image (print area) is a bit
smaller than the media size. You may need to adjust the page margins in
the application software to match the print area.
The following table shows the page sizes, the largest print areas, and the
margins for the media sizes supported on this printer.
■
Paper weight
The printer is designed to work well with most types of paper. However,
differences in paper may have significant effects on the quality of the print
or the reliability of paper handling. It is strongly recommended that you
always test paper before purchasing it to make sure it provides desirable
performance.
