Working Within Imageable Regions and Margins
If you experience problems with your file being cut off (not printing
to the expected margins), it might be due to an imageable region
constraint. There are two ways to compensate for imageable region
constraints:
1. Adjust margins, page size, or scale through your application.
2. Use the PostScript translate and scale operators to reduce
image size and change its placement on the page. The QMS
Crown Technical Reference, which came with your printer,
contains information on using PostScript operators.
Selecting and Storing Media
Media Selection
Media versatility is one of the biggest benefits of the QMS
magicolor printer. It can print on plain or laser paper,
transparencies, and labels. If you have a magicolor Plus printer,
you can print on all of these plus envelopes and thicker stocks
(between 24 and 43 lb [90 g/m
2
and 163 g/m
2
].
Make sure that the media you select meets the specifications listed
in the “Media Handling” section of appendix B, “Technical
Specifications.”
Media Storage
Store media according to the manufacturer’s instructions to
optimize printer output and decrease the chance of jams during
printing. See appendix B, “Technical Specifications,” for
additional media storage recommendations.
