size:

– The “on sheet paper” version has 3 mm margins, except for the bottom margin, which is 17 mm.
– The “on sheet paper extended margins” version has 5 mm margins, except for the bottom margin,
which is 17 mm.
– The “no margins” version has zero margins.
● Using the front panel: Tap , then Printing preferences > Margins.
Choose margin layout options
