= SUMMARY =

The Hewlett-Packard LaserJet has an unprintable region of approximately 3/16-inch on the left and 5/16-inch on the right. To produce even margins on the left and right side of the page, set the page width to 8 inches.

Setting the page width to 8 inches won’t produce exactly equal margins, but they will be very close. To get the margins exactly equal, use the following settings under Format Division Margins:

Desired Margin Left Margin Right Margin (Inches) (Inches) (Inches) ————– ———– ————

.50                      .31               .19 .75                       .56               .44 1.00 .81 .69 1.25 1.06 .94 1.50 1.31 1.19 1.75 1.56 1.44 2.00 1.81 1.69
