If the distance from the paper edge to the platen (sponge width) is less than 3mm, the maximum surplus print quantity without ink discharge onto the platen (0mm~3mm) is printable area. Printable Area † The printer detects paper width when paper is set. (If paper width detection setting is OFF, it does not detect paper width.) † It does not print the image beyond the detected paper width or the printable area specified by paper size setting. (It may print on the platen if paper width detection setting is OFF.) † Margins of roll paper can be changed on the panel as follows; Top/bottom 15 mm, left/right 3 mm Top/bottom/left/right 3 mm Top/bottom/left/right 15 mm NOTE: Under special conditions, it is possible to set right and left margin (LM, RM) to 0.
