Reminder

At this writing, DeskJet printers (including this one) require a larger margin along the bottom edge --

12.7mm (1/2 inch)

Borderless Printing

No

Print Margin Bottom (A4)	12.7 mm
Print Margin Left (A4)	3 mm
Print Margin Right (A4)	3 mm
Print Margin Top (A4)	3 mm

There is no software, firmware, or alignment that changes the larger margin requirement.

The solution is to keep all data inside of 1/2 inch on the bottom edge.  This includes all page numbers, footer information, or other notations.

=======================================

According to the documentation, the printer supports regular Plain paper, Brochure paper (180 gsm).

"HP Card" is listed in the specifications -- this paper type is actually Index paper 200 gsm.

Not listed but included,

HP Presentation Paper (120 gsm)

HP Professional Paper (180 gsm) 

Paper sizes are limited by paper type.

Brochure paper, for example, is full sized paper.

Usable and generally excellent for homemade folded cards.

Index can be purchased in several sizes.

Note that this "top loader" printer might have trouble with smaller paper when that paper is "thicker" than regular paper.  ??
