Adjusting the page size from the front panel You do not normally need to adjust the page size through the front panel, because the page size you have selected in your HP driver overrides the page size selected in the printer. However, some of the circumstances in which you may want to change the default setting are: • When you want to save paper by printing only the inked area of your print, plus the margins. In this case set Page Format > Size > Inked area. Depending on the driver you are using, you may not need to change the page size in the front panel. The default Size setting (Software) in the Page Format menu causes the printer to look for the page size information in the print file: if it is there, the printer uses it. However, some of the circumstances in which you may want to change the default setting are: • If you want to print the inked area only, but the driver you are using does not specify "Inked area". In this case, set the Size setting in the Page Format menu to Inked area. If you can select Inked area from your driver, any selection you have made in the front-panel menu will be overridden by the settings in the driver. • When the prints you are creating need to be of a specific standard (for example, ISO or ANSI), but the actual size within that standard is not important. For example, your page size may need to conform to a standard ISO page size, but it does not matter whether the final page size is ISO A4 or ISO A3. In this case, set Page Format > Size to ISO > Best... or ANSI > Best... etc. The printer uses the smallest standard size into which the inked area will fit.

Adjusting the page size from the front panel
You do not normally need to adjust the page size through the front panel, because the page size you have
selected in your HP driver overrides the page size selected in the printer. However, some of the circumstances in
which you may want to change the default setting are:
•
When you want to save paper by printing only the inked area of your print, plus the margins. In this case set
Page Format >
Size >
Inked
area.
Depending on the driver you are using, you may not need to change the page size in the front panel. The default
Size
setting (
Software
) in the Page Format menu causes the printer to look for the page size information in the print
file: if it is there, the printer uses it.
However, some of the circumstances in which you may want to change the default setting are:
•
If you want to print the inked area only, but the driver you are using does not specify “
Inked area
”.
In this case, set the
Size
setting in the
Page Format
menu to
Inked area
.
If you can select Inked area from your driver, any selection you have made in the front-panel menu will be
overridden by the settings in the driver.
•
When the prints you are creating need to be of a specific standard (for example, ISO or ANSI), but the actual
size within that standard is not important. For example, your page size may need to conform to a standard
ISO page size, but it does not matter whether the final page size is ISO A4 or ISO A3.
In this case, set
Page Format >
Size
to
ISO > Best...
or
ANSI > Best...
etc. The printer uses the smallest standard
size into which the inked area will fit.
