Note

  • The missing image area can be changed. For details, consult the administrator or contact your service representative. If plain paper that weighs less than 70 g/m2 or coated paper that weighs less than 105 g/m2 is registered as custom paper from the master library, the missing image area for the leading edge is set to approximately 5 mm. Depending on the paper's condition, the reverse side's missing image area and its registered values may be different.
