Re: HPLJ-4200 and HPLJ-4600 with different margins

I'm having problems with different page margins on these two printers.
Same documents (tested pairs from different applications like MS Word
and Adobe Reader) print with different margins. Both printers have
been updated with most recent drivers.
Most obnoxious is having to print letters through manual feed when
page layout is critical to get text exactly lined out with company
header logo. When I get Word template right for one printer it goes
wrong on the other.
Someone who can hint me on how to tackle this?

Different printing engines usually will have different printable areas.

If you set your document margins inside the smaller printable area, it
should work on both printers.

For example:

Printer A can only print to within .25 inches of the edge of the page.

Printer B can print to within .5 inches of the bottom of the page, and
..25 inches on the other sides.

So your document will have to have at least a bottom margin of .5 inches
to be entirely printable on both printers.

Beyond that, Word may try to "help" you by doing things and making
adjustments behind the scenes.

The easiest way is probably to include your letterhead graphics in the
document and print on plain paper.
