* Foolscap has the following five types: 8-1/2 13-1/2, 8-1/2 13, 8-1/4 13, 8-1/8 13-1/4, and 8 13. Any one of these sizes is selectable. For details, contact your service representative.
All paper sizes have a printable area, excluding 3/16 1/16 inches (4.2 2.0 mm) from the edges of the paper for printing, and 3/16 1/16 inches (4.0 2.0 mm) from the edges of the paper for copying. When configuring a user setting of the page size using the application, specify the paper size within the printable area so that the optimal result is obtained.
On an envelope, it is only possible to print on the front (address) side. Also, the result of printing on the seal overlapping part on the front side cannot be assured. The area that cannot be assured varies depending on envelope types.
The page margin setting is determined depending on your application. If the default paper size or margin is selected, there may be some part of the paper that is not able to be printed on. To obtain the optimal result, configure the custom setting so that an image is included in the printable area of this machine.
