PRINT 3 APPEARANCE Controlling your print's appearance Page size Terminology Page size The Page size option applies only when using roll media, and is used to define the way in which the printer emulates a sheet of media when printing. This section explains how to make sure that the printer prints your print in the page size you want. Media Page size Margin Printing area Inked area Page size Margins Printing area Inked area This is what you can specify in your software; there it may be called "Page Size", "Media Size", "Paper Size", etc., and the options may include, for example, ISO A3, ANSI Letter, Architectural E, or Custom. If the driver's setting is "default", the front panel setting is used. Any other software setting overrides the front panel setting, unless the latter is Inked area and you are sending a file: in this case the front panel setting takes precedence. In AutoCAD for DOS, however, the "User Size" is the printing area. These are fixed for the HP DesignJet 430, 450C and 455CA. The values are 17 mm on the leading and trailing edges and 5 mm on the sides. This is the chosen page size minus the margins. For a table showing the printing areas for standard media sizes, see page 10-7. This is the smallest rectangle that contains all the content of the drawing, while maintaining its relative dimensions. 3-3
