What is the imageable (printable) area

Each media size has a specific imageable area,
the maximum area on which the printer can print
clearly and without distortion.
This area is subject to both hardware limits (the
physical media size and the margins required by
the printer) and software constraints (the amount
of memory available for the full-page frame
buffer). The imageable (printable) area for all
media sizes is the page size minus 0.157"/4 mm
from all edges of the media.
All media is fed in portrait (short edge first) orientation, and all media is
output to the 250-sheet output tray on top of the printer.
What is the difference between a nonprintable and a
nonguaranteed area?
There is a 0.157"/4 mm nonprintable border for all edges on all media sizes
and types. Only envelopes have a nonguaranteed area.
Print orientation is determined by your application.
A Nonprintable area 0.157"/4 mm
B Nonguaranteed area*
C Guaranteed area*
* Varies with envelope type

Page Margins

Margins are set through your application. Some applications allow you to set
custom page sizes and margins while others have only standard page sizes
and margins from which to choose. If you choose a standard format, you
may lose part of your image (due to imageable area constraints). If you can
custom-size your page, use those sizes given for the imageable area for
optimum results.
