Margin(Right) setting. The area between the right edge of the media and
Print Start Position is left blank. If a value is selected for Side
Margin(Right), an additional area corresponding to the width selected
for Side Margin(Right) will be left blank. The position from which the this

Media Size Check
On
Choose whether the printer automatically detects (On), or does not
automatically detect (Off), the edges of the media. Try Off if the printer
displays a Media Size Error when the media is correctly loaded. Note,
however, that the printer may print beyond the edges of the media when
Off is selected. Ink used outside the edges of the media will stain the inside
of the printer. We generally recommend to operate with this setting set to
On.
Off
Media End Check
On
Choose whether the printer automatically detects (On) or does not
automatically detect (Off), the end of the media. Try Off if the printer
displays Media Out when the media is correctly loaded. We generally
recommend to operate with this setting set to On.
Off
Media Skew Check
On When skewed media is detected, the printer will either stop printing and
display an error (On) or continue printing (Off). On is recommended in
most circumstances, as skewed media may cause the printer to jam.
Off
Auto Nozzle Check
