TABLE 4-1: Paper Size Options and Print Areas
When printing, it is also very important to realize
each paper size has a non-printable margin on both
the top and bottom of the sheet. These non-printable
margins are necessary in order for the Color Sign
PrinterÕs rollers to tightly grip print media during the
printing process. Table 4-2 lists the approximate non-
printable margins for each of the Color Sign PrinterÕs
paper sizes:
