Solution
A margin required by the printer is added with respect to the size of paper loaded in the printer. Except in borderless printing, the actual printing area corresponds to the paper size minus the space for this margin.

Printing from the Top Paper Feed Slot requires a margin of 3 mm (0.12 in) on top, 3 mm (0.12 in) or 23 mm (0.91 in) on bottom, and 3 mm (0.12 in) on the left and right sides. Some types of paper require a bottom margin of 23 mm (0.91 in).
Printing from the Front Paper Feed Slot requires a margin of 3 mm (0.12 in) on top, 23 mm (0.91 in) on bottom, and 3 mm (0.12 in) on the left and right sides.
A margin of 20 mm (0.79 in) on top, 23 mm (0.91 in) on bottom, and 5 mm (0.20 in) on left and right sides is required.
IMPORTANT
- Choosing a bottom margin of 3 mm (0.12 in) may distort images by the bottom edge.
In this case, select Paper Source > Manual and specify a bottom margin of 23 mm (0.91 in).

- To print so that your original matches the print area exactly, use an oversized paper size that includes the required margin.
- When printing from the Top Paper Feed Slot, you can choose a bottom margin of either 3 mm (0.12 in) or 23 mm (0.91 in).
Specifying Paper Source > Manual in the printer driver leaves a bottom margin of 23 mm (0.91 in). On the other hand, choosing Manual (3mm margins) in Paper Source sets the bottom margin at 3 mm (0.12 in), which provides a larger area for printing.
However, Manual (3mm margins) is not available with the following paper.
