The printer margins determine the printable area of the page that can be
used by your application.
There are three margin options that can be selected from the Page Format
menu: Normal, Extended, and Smaller.
Normal Extended Smaller
Top margin
17 mm (sheet)
7 mm (roll)
17 mm (sheet)
15 mm (roll)
5 mm
Side margins
7 mm 15 mm 5 mm
Bottom margin
35 mm 35 mm 5 mm
The Smaller margins option is recommended only for CAD line drawings. If
this option is used for other purposes, there is a risk of a printhead crash,
which may damage the printing material and perhaps also the printhead.
If you use Smaller margins, you will need to
clean the platen more often.
reduced margins
There is an additional Reduced margins option that may be selected from the
Device Setup menu. This is available only if a take-up reel is installed and
loaded with printing material.
Normally the white space between successive prints on a roll is the sum of
the top and bottom margins. When Reduced margins are selected, the
bottom margin is in effect eliminated, and the white space between
successive prints is only the top margin (as set in the Page Format menu).
This option has no effect on the side margins, which remain as set in the
Page Format menu.
