Adjust the document margins in the original document.

For example, in Word > Layout > Margins = Normal or Narrow as needed

 

Next,

If the full driver printer software is installed,

Print the document from within Word

 

General Example - Word Document - Print - Main Menu

Word_Print_Pages_1-4_Duplex_3Word_Print_Pages_1-4_Duplex_3

 

What else?

 

PDF Printing

 

Adjust the "fit" of the print job configuration in the application / software you are using to print the document.

 

Example - Adobe Reader - Print PDF - Main Menu

Page Sizing & Handling > Size = Fit

PDF_Reader_Main_Menu_Border_7PDF_Reader_Main_Menu_Border_7

Important

 

DeskJet printers do not support Borderless

and

DeskJet printers require a larger margin along the bottom edge of the paper

 

These limitations impact how content is printed on paper.

 

This DeskJet printer requires a larger margin along the bottom edge (1/2 inch).

 

 

Borderless PrintingNo
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 to "chopped off" is to keep all data inside of 1/2 inch / 12.7mm on the bottom edge. 

 

This limitation includes all text, images, page numbers, footer information, cells, tables, lines, other notations, and all file types, too.

 

 

Create your original document with 12.7mm ( 1/2 inch ) margins.
