Maximum Print Area for HP Envy

[villageidiot]

What are the minimum margins for the printing area on A4 paper on an HP Envy?

For the Envy, "Print Setup" does not tell me, and I have searched these forums in vain.

I can set the margins in the program I am using, but I need to know the minimum values I can set them to.

Start here:

Specifications > Paper Handling

• Supported Paper Sizes
• Margins

A4 is not listed as supported for "borderless" printing; minimum margins are as shown in "Margins".

Print margins

To avoid printing errors, the document margins must match (or exceed) the margin settings listed for the portrait orientation in the following table.

Figure : Margins in portrait orientation

Media	1. Left (LM)	2. Right (RM)	3. Top (TM)	4. Bottom (BM)*
U.S. letter U.S. legal A4 A5 B5 U.S. Statement Customized media** Photo media Cards U.S. Executive	3.3 mm (0.13 inch)	3.3 mm (0.13 inch)	3.3 mm (0.13 inch)	3.3 mm (0.13 inch)
Envelopes	3.3 mm (0.13 inch)	3.3 mm (0.13 inch)	14.5 mm (0.57 inch)	14.5 mm (057 inch)

Choose your operating system for the steps to achieve these margin settings:

• OS X: Select Manage Custom Sizes from the Print Driver settings.
• Windows: Click the Advanced tab in the printer driver, and then select Minimize Margins.

Hi Dragon-fur.

Many thanks for that link. Problem solved.

I had looked in the HP Support Assistant>Specifications, but that includes everything except the minimum margns.  Trust HP to provide superb information, but to bury the information where virtually no-one will think to look for it.

Again, many thanks.
