Page Sizes, Imageable Regions and Margins
Page Sizes
Your printer can print on the following media sizes: letter, legal,
executive, A4, and envelopes (DL and COM 10). (Appendix B,
“Technical Specifications,” lists measurements for each of these
sizes.)
Imageable Regions and Margins
Each size has a certain imageable region—the maximum page area
the printer can print on. The imageable region is subject to
hardware limits (physical page size and margins required by the
printer engine) and to software constraints (amount of printer
memory available). As you set page margins in your application,
remember that they must be equal to or fall inside the printer’s
imageable region for the page size you’re using. (Appendix B,
“Technical Specifications,” lists measurements of imageable
regions and margins for each media size.)
About Legal-Sized Imageable Region
There are two imageable regions for legal-sized pages: one for
black and one for color. The imageable region for black on
legal-sized pages is 8.11" x 13.61" (205.90 mm x 345.60 mm). The
imageable region for color on legal-sized pages is an 8.11" x 11.7"
(205.90 mm x 297.18 mm) region at the top of the page. We
recommend that you compose color legal-sized pages so that color
images stay in this 8.11" x 11.7" area near the top of the page, and
use the imageable region below this for black only.
