Minimum printing margins
The printer cannot print outside a certain area of the
page, so you must make sure the contents of your
document fall within the printable area—that is, within
the top, bottom, left, and right margins available for
the specific size paper on which you are printing.
When you use nonstandard paper sizes and select the
Custom Paper Size setting in the HP print settings box,
the paper width must be between 3 and 8.5 inches
(77 and 215 mm) and the paper length must be
between 3 and 14 inches (77 and 356 mm).
