Getting margins correct in Pages - didn't print right

I had my document margins set at 1" all the way around on my document, and the measurements looked fine on my screen. However, when I printed it out, I found that the margins were closer to 1.25". I looked on here and found something about layout margins, but they are all set to 0, and I hadn't touched them. Any reason why Pages did this and ways to fix it?
Also, could exporting it as a PDF have had anything to do with it? If so, how do I prevent this from happening in the future?

When I set left and right margins to 1", the margin which I measure on the paper sheet is 2.6 cm when 1" is 2.54.
I guess that with an other test I would get a slightly different value because the printer doesn't guarantee that the paper position would be nominal.
But as you see, we are in a difference in the range 2% not in a 20% one.
For the top margin, the difference is a bit larger : 2.8 cm which is in the range 10%.
Both measures were made on a single test.
When I print by error twice on a single page, the offset commonly reach half a millimeter.
I guess that if professional tools insert some lay mark, it's because they are aware that the printed area may move.
As far as I know, the trimmers cutting the pages work with a tolerance of 1 to 2 millimeters so I'm amused when I read that some users are annoyed by such variations.
On the other hand, I'm really puzzled by the 20% offset which you report.

    Try resetting your printer margins in '''about:config'''.
    Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter. <br />
    ''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
    Filter = '''print_margin'''
    Right-click and select '''Reset''' for both '''''margin_left''''' and '''''margin_right''''' for that particular printer, and then restart Firefox. If you have ever used other "printers" in that Firefox Profile, you'll have separate groups of preferences listed for each printer.

  • Remove margins for 2 page per sheet printing

    Hi I was wondering if there was any way to get rid of the margins for 2 page printing on a single sheet. I'm using Adobe Reader X and it creates a 1-2 inch border around my entire document when I try to print two pages into one.

    Try the Reader forum.

  • Pages will not print to Airprint from Ipad

    I can print using AirPrint when I print things from Safari or photos stored on my iPad or from Numbers or an email attachment, but not from Pages. I've tried rebooting my router, "forgetting" my wifi connection and hooking it up again, I've exited Pages completely (so it's not running in the background) numerous times...nothing is working.
    Strangely, Pages finds my printer just fine and goes through the motions of printing. It will tell me the usual "connecting to printer", "preparing printer", "now printing"...but nothing happens with the printer. It's like the connection between Pages and the printer gets lost somewhere. Pages used to print just fine before I updated to iOS 7. Whether that's just a coincidence or not, who knows. Has anyone else had this issue and found a solution?

    I am certain, it finds the printer in Print Forte, but if I try to print an email I get the "no airprint printer found"

  • Printing error "The document could not be printed", ok "There were no pages selected to print" WHY?

    I have a file that is 2.52MB and when I go to print it it gives me the error box "The document could not be printed" I click OK and get "There were no pages selected to print" I made sure that I chose the All pages button. I also tried the Pages and selected all the pages. But here is the funny part. I have Adobe Profesinal and I have converted imged PDF' to searchable PDF's meany times. Although the original document was already searchable I ran the convertion tool on the original searchable PDF and now the file is 33.5MB and now I can print this document. Is there a security tool that was added to the original document?

    Hello PW, I am having this problem and all suggestions haven't worked yet. Where is the Preferences|Documents you are referring to? I am on a PC and using Windows.
    EDIT: I found it and did, but still not working.

    I am having trouble printing I have a connection to my printer wirelessly but does not print out the correct page I want.When I do print I get a bunch of pages more than is needed and also get a code and symbols please help I am jammed at work

    This can be the result of selecting the wrong driver. An older, unsupported laser printer will sometimes work with the generic Postscript driver.

  • HP DeskJet 3510 Printer Alignment Page Doesn't print correctly.

    Hi I have a strange problem with my HP DeskJet 3510. I took it out of the box installed everything loaded up paper and powered it on. It went through all the motions and blah blah and printed out an alignment page. Anyhow it didn't look right to me but I went ahead and scanned it anyway and it then said "ink cartidges are set to default color quality" or something to the effect. I hit ok and it went to the main menu.
    Now from my wifes phone I can connect to the printer and print just fine but from our laptop the alignment is all jacked up. If I type a bunch of random lines into notepad or anything really it misses a bunch of lines and some lines just don't even appear. Which I could only think would be because the alignment page isn't right.
    Also from app that gets installed from the software CD on the laptop I can choose to align the cartridges but when I do and it prints and I scan the page (that still looks jacked up to me) the software tells me the alignment failed and asks me to rescan after I put the page in there right. I know the page is in there right its face down and in the bottom right hand corner as it should be.
    Now I have ran the cartdridge cleaning process several times took the cartridges out and looked for debris or anything that could be in the way even though I doubt its any of those things becuase like I had said earlier it prings perfectly from my wifes printershare app from her smart phone. Just as it appears on her screen. Only getting this issue from the PC.
    Anyhow I am going to attach a photo of how the priner aligment page comes out from me doing it on the printers control panel and from the PC's software both it comes out looking like this. If you could please give me some advice to what to do next that would be great as I am out of ideas. Did I just get a bad cartridge? If so why would it print from my wifes phone fine and not from the PC? Is this how the alignment page should look (can't read any of the things on the lower portion really).
    Other Info : PC is running Windows . Other PC has same problem running Windows XP. Wifes Phone is using PrinterShare app. Any information or helpful advice is appreciated thank you guys in advance.

    Finally, after installing and uninstalling the print cartridges on my HP-3510 around 10 times; I finally got the alignment page to print and then scan successfully. It's a nice, very economical printer when it works properly. I was on the verge of tossing it but glad I didn't. I guess the lesson is that persistence can pay off. My thanks to the other two contributing posters.

  • Bottom margin gets cut off when I try to print

    bottom margin gets cut off when I try to print

    Not being able to check it out on Pages 5 I have tosay how it works in Pages 4 (09). When Show Layout is checked/on you should see a grey border which is the area that the printer can't print on. Do you see a grey boder in your Pages 5?
    If you need a smaller margin on your document than the printer seems being able to do check if you don't hae a "borderless" option for the paper sizr you use. You check it in File > Page Setup
    Also go to HP and check if there is a newer printer driver if yours has some years on it.
    I hope this will help you

  • Cannot get Pages to let printer manage the color

    This is actually a Pages '06 issue, but the Pages'06 discussion is closed so I could not post this question there.
    I am leaving out a lot of hsitory to be as brief as possible, but I will say this much. I did have Leopard installed, but this OS X had an issue with Painter X so I removed Leopard and re-installed Tiger. There is a documented conflict with Painter X that Apple and Corel have not been able to rectify. I use Painter to put beans on the table, so I had no choice but to re-install Tiger. Whether this is the cause of my problem, I do not know. Here is my current dilemma.
    All of my Pages prints use to print perfectly. Now, no matter what I do, they are flat and dull. I would like to use my ICC Color Profiles to manage my color rather than allow Pages to color manange.
    To be clear all of my ink cartridges are fresh and all printer nozzles are clear. Many tests have been run on my Epson R2400 and none have shown any problems whatsoever.
    What I believe may be the problem here is that in the Print / ColorSync /Color Conversion pull-down menu, 'Standard' is my only choice. 'In Printer' is the only other option, but it is grayed out, unselectable. The Pages manual states that:
    'Standard: Uses the default settings in Pages ...
    'In Printer: Lets the printer ... control color management ...
    Does anyone know what may be a solution to making 'In Printer' selectable?? Am I overlooking something? I could almost print in Pages with my eyes closed and get perfect prints every time. But that has all changed for some reason.
    Pages'08 does not even have a ColorSync option in its print menu which gives me pause to wonder, but if anyone has a suggestion about using Pages'08 and my problem, then I all ears. In addition, the Pages'08 manual does not even have printing instrctions, so this was no help either.
    Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

    There is a documented conflict with Painter X that Apple and Corel have not been able to rectify. I use Painter to put beans on the table, so I had no choice but to re-install Tiger.
    OK, if you are using the ICC architecture for a living, and if you have a problem with a file format / application, you need to talk to the Apple ColorSync Users List.
    What I believe may be the problem here is that in the Print / ColorSync /Color Conversion pull-down menu, 'Standard' is my only choice. 'In Printer' is the only other option, but it is grayed out, unselectable. The Pages manual states that:
    'Standard: Uses the default settings in Pages ...
    'In Printer: Lets the printer ... control color management ...
    This is incorrect. The correct interface information is, "In Printer: Lets the PostScript interpreter control colour management". You do not have a printer with a built-in PostScript interpreter, so the system computes the colourant conversion. Hence, In Printer is grayed out.
    Does anyone know what may be a solution to making 'In Printer' selectable?? Am I overlooking something?
    Sure, buy an Adobe CPSI (Configureable PostScript Software Interpreter) running on a Mac server or Windows server, or but one that comes as an embedded controller in a colour printer, and you can use the command 'In Printer'.
    Pages'08 does not even have a ColorSync option in its print menu which gives me pause to wonder,
    Thankfully, since Pages should not have its own ICC API, but should be a client of the system in general and the ColorSync Utility in particular. What Pages does not have is object-level ICC source profile assignment, and object-level rendering intent settings.
    You can get this, but if you make a mistake, you kill your colours. For instance, if you select Absolute Colorimetric as rendering intent, you match the white point of the source colour space into the graybalance and clip the lightness linearly to the lightness of the printing condition.
    By hiding rendering intent settings, you get a fairly foolproof situation.
    In addition, the Pages'08 manual does not even have printing instrctions, so this was no help either.
    Printing instructions are the property of the printer manufacturer who plugs a printer driver into the system. What you can argue, and many would agree, is that configuration of the ColorSync Utility and the Display control panel is underdocumented. But that in itself is a bit of a job.

  • I Sorted but I am trying to get the correct Month to print

    {noformat}I am creating a program that requires me to get the highest number and lowest number in a month.I have sorted the Array into a 1 dimesional Array of [12]. Here is my issue How do I get the Highest and lowes number reported while How can I get the correct Month to print? I keep getting Jan and Dec obviously since they are the first and last month.
    I am not sure how to do a sort that will get me the proper month.
    I am creating a program that requires me to chose the highest number and lowest number of the 12 months calculated. I created a seperate sorting array. Currently these number are in the indexed memory location. This Array of numbers is not Initialized! I am just showing what is currently in memory.
    double total [12]={114,93.10,89.30,92.90,98.40,111.00,102.40,105.40,81.40,82.60,80.90,113.40} .

    String[] months={"January","February", "May","June","July","August","September","October","November",

    Here is my issue How do I get the Highest and lowest number printed that also corresponds with the correct month? I have a String of months. I just dont understand how I can do this. My highest numner is 114 which is January and my Lowest 80.89 is November. Is there another part of the swapping I am missing?

    Here is my issue How do I get the Highest and lowes number reported while How can I get the correct Month to print?OK, apart from the fact that you've dumped everything in one place as opposed to breaking up your logic, the main thing I can see is that you have no inherent mapping between the values that you're storing and the months that they apply to.
    That's all fine while you're just pulling in the values (I assume that each block of 12 is listed from January to December), but the second you do a sort, you lose the fact that '114.93', which is probably now in last place (being the highest) actually referred to the month of January.
    First suggestion: break it up into methods (a couple of suggestions would be 'getAverages() and 'sort()', but I'm sure there's more).
    Second suggestion: Have a look at the Java Collections framework (you might want to start here). It has a shed-load of classes for doing exactly what you want.
