TOPIC


    What are the minimum margins for the ImageWriter I? I am printing from a Macintosh Plus to an ImageWriter I in landscape mode and the top .50" of each page is being clipped. I need 1/8" margins.


DISCUSSION


    Here are the minimum margins for the ImageWriter I or ImageWriter II printer:

    Top and Bottom - .25"
    Left and Right - .50"

    With these margins the maximum printable line is 7.5-in. not 8-in. as the manual states.

    NOTE: These margins depend on correct placement of the paper on the
    platen, and may only be achieved if the application supports it.

    With regard to the image being clipped, this is because the margins have been set to be less than the minimum. Some applications will warn the user that they have set the margins to less than the minimum, but some will not and the resulting "clippage" will occur.

    4 May 1994 - Added maximum pritable area.
