When I print anything the left hand margin is much narrower than the right hand margin.  Sometimes the print is right at the edge of the left hand.  Any idea how I can fix this so that my margins are equal on both sides.  Thank you.

Hi @AMN4,

 

I'd like to help!

 

1) Does the copy print out the same way? 

2) What's the application you are trying to print from? Have you tried printing from a different application or devices? 

 

Meanwhile, try the steps below -

 

Create a custom paper size using the Print option on the File menu of your application, and then select the new custom size for the print job.

  1. Load the custom-size paper into the paper input tray.

  2. Open the item you want to print.

  3. Click File, and then select Print.

  4. In Paper Size, select Manage Custom Sizes.

    The Custom Paper Sizes window displays.

    Selecting Manage Custom Sizes

  5. In the Custom Paper Sizes window, click the plus sign  to create a new paper size, double-click the default untitled name, and then type a new name for the custom paper size.

    NOTE: 

    Use a different, unique name for the new custom paper size. Do not use an existing paper size name for any new custom paper size names because it overrides the existing preset. For example, if a custom paper size is named A4, then the existing A4 paper size is no longer available as a choice.

  6. In the Paper Size section, type the dimensions of the custom paper in the Width and Height text boxes, and then set the margins, ifdesired.

    1. Paper Size

    2. Margins

  7. Click OK.

  8. In the print preview window, select the new custom paper size.

  9. Change print settings, if desired, and then click OK or Print to print the document.
