• The printer has the following hardware margins: The driver cannot override these margins. This means that, if for instance you select an A3/B page size, the printable area will be the A3/B size minus the margins. This information is included as "Margins" and it is passed to the application but it is the responsibility of the customer to fill them out when creating a custom page size as, if they are overwritten, you may face clipping problems without warning from the application.

Software Applications Notes
50/59
The printer has the following hardware margins:
The driver cannot override these margins. This means that, if for instance you
select an A3/B page size, the printable area will be the A3/B size minus the
margins. This information is included as
Margins
and it is passed to the
application but it is the
responsibility
of
the
customer to fill them out
when creating a custom
page size as, if they are
overwritten, you may face
clipping problems without
warning
from
the
application.
Note: Although most of
applications
check
for
possible clipping problems, not all applications do before sending the job to
print.
The second point is that you notice there is paper size for regular and two-
sided (duplex) mode. The reason is because in duplex mode, the top and the
bottom hardware margins are equal.
5.2 Changing the default settings in MAC
When the Adobe PostScript driver appears, change the drop-down list
General
to
Printer Specific Options
tab. This tab has the same color printer
s settings that
we see in the chapter
