Printable Area
This section describes the area on paper that can be printed.
Standard Printable Area
The standard printable area is the area of a sheet of paper excluding the 4.0 mm
margins on all four edges of paper. The actual printable area, however, may vary
depending on the printer (plotter) control language.
Extended Printable Area
When you select the extended printable area setting for printing, you can expand the
width and length of the printable area and the print assured area to 297.0 x 432.0 mm.
For copying, the printable area and the print assured area can be extended up to 297.0
x 420.0 mm.
Note • To extend the printable area, change the PCL print driver setting, or the [Print Area] setting
on the touch screen.
For more information on the setting method on the print driver, refer to the help provided for the print
driver. For more information on the setting on the control panel, refer to "Print Area" (P.192).
