Note

  • To adjust the following settings, pre-register the type of paper in use as a custom paper. For details about registering custom papers, see "Specifying a Custom Paper", Preparation.

  • The adjusted margin cannot be applied to masked images that are solid-filled or contain ruled lines at the leading/trailing edges.

  • Reducing the leading/trailing edge margin may result in a paper jam on the fusing belt stripper plate.
