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. For SRA3 paper (width of 320 mm), the printable area of the
paper is the area excluding the 11.5 mm left and right margins. 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 to 305.0 x 1,194 mm and the print assured area to 297.0 x
476.6 mm. For copying, the printable area and the print assured area can be extended up to
297.0 x 432.0 mm. The area of paper you can print to, however, may vary depending on the
size of paper.
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.246).
