What Is the Guaranteed Imageable (Printable) Area?
The printable area on all media sizes is up to 4 mm (0. 157") from the edges of the media. Each media size has a specific imageable area, the maximum area on which the printer can print clearly and without distortion.
a a a
Printable Area
This area is subject to both hardware a limits (the physical media size and the a = 4 mm (0. 157") margins required by the printer) and software constraints (the amount of memory available for the full-page frame buffer). The guaranteed imageable (printable) area for all media sizes is the page size minus 4 mm (0. 157") from all edges of the media.
!"
When printing in color on legal-size media, the bottom margin is 17. 0 mm (0. 669"). When printing on glossy stock, the top margin is 10 mm (0. 394").
Imageable Area--Envelopes
Envelopes have a nonguaranteed imageable area that varies with envelope type.

The envelope print orientation is determined by your application.
