Margins may be adjusted for all input trays and feeders using the All Input Trays
menu. Additional adjustments may be made to the All Input Trays margin settings for
an individual tray or feeder using the tray or feeder specific margin menu. Most often,
the All Input Trays margin settings will remain at the default setting of zero and
adjustments will be made using the specific tray or feeder margin menu. The All Input
Trays margin adjustment PLUS the specific tray or feeder margin adjustment
determines the total margin adjustment for a specific tray or feeder.
Margin Adjustment = All Input Trays setting + Specific Tray / Feeder Setting
The SIMM for IPDS is limited by the printer’s printable area. The Margins menu may
be used to adjust page images outside the valid printable area. The page image will be
clipped. Valid Printable Area (VPA) exception conditions will not be reported to the
host.
Margin adjustments are in 1/300ths of an inch.
Note: The Margins menu is only available on IPDS code level 8223 and above.
