Re: IPDS printing "off"

[Wayne McAlpine <wayne.mcalpine@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Is there a setting in the printer's configuration menu for edge-to-edge 
printing vs. an unprintable border?  Usually the default is an 
unprintable border, but it's much easier to do the print layout for a 
form if you set the printer to print edge-to-edge.  A mismatch between 
what the print file expects and the setting of the printer would 
certainly cause registration problems.
