When I copy on HP5660, left margin is too big, right side is cut off. How do I adjust margins?

[Max531]

I'm trying to make a copy at the machine (not scanning or printing from computer).  Left hand margin is too big, right side gets cut off.  I can't find any place to adjust margins.  I have no idea how it started

@Max531,

Thank you for posting your query on HP Community,

Try the steps recommended below.

There is one setting in the driver which you can check. It's called Preserve Layout. Make sure that it is set to Yes. 
 
You can find this setting here: Start>Devices and Printers>Your printer driver>
Right click and go to Printer Preferences>Advanced

Change the copy settings

Changing the copy settings, if available, might improve copy quality. Not all printers have the option to change copy quality settings, and some printers have more or less quality options. For specific steps, refer to the printer user guide on HP.com.

1. On the printer control panel, touch or press the Copy button or icon.

2. Touch or press the Settings icon or button , if necessary, then navigate to the Quality or Optimization setting.

   If either setting is not available, skip to the next step.

3. Change any of the following settings to improve copy quality.

   • Reduce/Enlarge: Reduce or enlarge the size of the copy.

   • Lighter/Darker or Contrast: Adjust the contrast of the text or photo.

       note:

     On some printers, the Lighter/Darker option is accessed from a separate button on the control panel.

   • Optimize or Enhancements: Change this setting to optimize for photos, text, or mixed.

   • Draft Mode: Turning on Draft Mode speeds up copying, but reduces quality.

   • Quality: Change the copy quality to Best, Normal, or Draft.

4. Touch or press the Back icon  or OK.

5. Load the original document or photo, then try to copy.
