The imageable area of each media size is smaller than the size of the
media. The imageable area is subject to hardware limits (physical
page size and margins required by the print engine). As you set page
margins in your application, remember they must be equal to or less
than the imageable areas specified for the page size you are using.
"Print Media Sizes, Imageable Regions, and Margins" on page 28
lists measurements of imageable areas and margins for each media
size.
About Legal-Size Imageable Regions
There are two imageable regions for legal-sized pages: one for black
and one for color. The imageable region for black on legal-sized
pages is 8.11" x 13.61" (205.90 mm x 345.60 mm). The imageable
region for color on legal-sized pages is an 8.11" x 11.7" (205.90 mm
x 297.18 mm) region at the top of the page. We recommend that you
compose color legal-sized pages so that color images stay in this
8.11" x 11.7" area near the top of the page, and use the imageable
region below this for black only.
Working Within Imageable Regions and Margins
If you experience problems with your file being cut off (not printing to
the expected margins), it might be due to an imageable region con-
straint. To compensate for imageable region constraints, use a larger
page size or adjust margins, page size, or scale through your applica-
tion.
