Preview not putting in margins when printing

I have an HP6500 e709 (Duplex) printer that is capable of no margin printing that will accept any margin arrangement from zero up to half the paper size being used. I have a document that was set up in Pages with landscape margins set for: Left - .25", right - .25", top - .75" (no header), bottom - .75", footer - .75" (10 pt type) then exported to PDF in sections because each section has its own paging. The sections were then combined into one document using "Combine PDF", a free application. When I printed this document from Preview I noticed that both right and left margins on the printed page were .5" or or more which cut off both right and left parts of most lines and in one section skipping an entire left hand column. The individual sections print properly from Pages.
Is this a problem with Preview?

I have discovered that this may be a printer driver problem though there are different symptoms on different applications but is more related to the duplex printer capability.

How do I remove top and bottom margins when printing using Adobe Acrobat XI Standard.

How do I remove top and bottom margins when printing using Adobe Acrobat XI Standard. (I selected 'Fit to scale' and there's a huge gap on the top and bottom).

Those margins are usually reported from the printer settings to Acrobat. Meansif you have, for example, an inkjet printer and that printer can not print seamlessly, then there will be a minimum margin.
Check your printer's page settings.

Mavericks 10.9-10.9.1 bug/issue/problem: external drives connected through thunderbolt or firewire are not put to sleep when iMac goes to sleep

Previous to Mavericks (10.9 - 10.9.1) I've had no issues with external firewire or thunderbolt connected drives to be put to sleep. However, since Mavericks all of my external drives are not put to sleep when my iMac, or Mac Pro go to sleep.
How can a company such as Apple, pushing people to have external devices like hard drives, is not on top of fixing this issue? Apple pushed for firewire and thunderbolt, thus All external drives I've owned are firewire. Because of speed. I bought thunderbolt adapters for firewire, and before Mavericks all worked great. Now that we have 10.9.1 update, this is still an issue!
I'm aware of the temporary solution of connecting the drive through USB to make it work, this is not a solution, but a hack.
Please let Apple know that this is a known issue, and there should be a fix for it. Everyone's data depends on it! Not only current external backups, but also external sensitive hard drives we rely on. Currently, the following makes are experiencing this issue: Lacie, OWC (Elite Pro), WD, Promise, Seagate, Toshiba, G-Drive.

Same 2 issues with 10.9.3:
External FireWire drive WILL NOT spin down when Mac goes to sleep.
also
External FireWire drive WILL NOT spin down for inactivity despite “Put hard disks to sleep when possible” is checked in energy saver.
This has been going on since the launch of Mavericks and no solution found yet.

Cannot change the print margins when printing out my spreadsheet. Tried clicking on format and then Document but when I enter a number I always get " invalid number".

I cannot change the margins when printing out my spreadsheet. I clicked on the format then on document and got a entry box. But everytime I try entering a number to change the left margin ( tried .5 ) I get an " invalid number " response. I can print out the spreadsheet but always get a message telling me the margins may be too small and data may be clipped. Data doesn't get clipped but left part of the spreadsheet is right at the left side of the paper. Want to change the margin so I don't get that message.

Naming the spreadsheet app would do wonders for getting an answer.

A way to reduce margins when printing multiple pages per sheet?

I really like the new leopard print dialog box. Is there a way of reducing the large margins when printing 2, 4, or more pages per sheet (in Layout)?

You could use custom page sizes (in the Page Setup dialog) or you could see if the settings in the Paper Handling panel help at all.

Page does not fit on paper when printed directly to printer

Hi experts,
I have developed a form in transaction SFP, using A4 as the paper format for the master pages. If I print to spool and preview and print my form from spool using transaction SP01, the form prints nicely. If I print directly to printer using the generated function module for the form (setting parameter REQIMM to true), the page does not fit on the paper (it is cropped), and also I do not get duplex printing.
Why do I get different results when printing directly to printer as opposed to printing to spool first? How can I ensure that the form is printed correctly when printing directly to printer?
thanks!
Frank

Did you check the window settings of the Firefox desktop shortcut to see how Firefox opens?
Did you try to delete the current Firefox desktop shortcut and create a new shortcut?
Use Restore or Maximize in the right-click context menu of the Taskbar icon to set focus to the Firefox application if you do not see the Firefox window.
Open the system menu of that Firefox window via Alt+Space and see if you can move and resize that window (use the keyboard cursor keys).<br />
If that works then first close all other open Firefox windows and then close Firefox via "File > Exit/Quit" to save that setting.

Set margins when printing

I have problems to set the margins for printing..
I set margins in this way:
when I start the printing process I do:
        PrinterJob job = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
        final Stamp canvas = new Stamp();
        job.setPrintable(canvas);
        MediaPrintableArea area = new MediaPrintableArea(10, 10, 170, 255, MediaPrintableArea.MM);
        HashPrintRequestAttributeSet aset = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
        aset.add(area);
        if (job.printDialog()) { // chiede conferma definitiva
            try {
                job.print(aset);
            } catch (PrinterException ex) {
                Logger.getLogger(Stampa_Try_For_PreciseLocation.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        }in the canvas class I try to read the margins :
public int print(Graphics g, PageFormat pageFormat, int pageIndex) {
        if (pageIndex >= 1) {
            return Printable.NO_SUCH_PAGE;
        Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
        g2.translate(pageFormat.getImageableX(), pageFormat.getImageableY());
        AffineTransform at = new AffineTransform();
        at.scale(pageFormat.getImageableWidth(), pageFormat.getImageableHeight());
        g2.transform(at);
        double pageWidth = pageFormat.getWidth();
        double pageHeight = pageFormat.getHeight();
        double pageSpUsedX = pageFormat.getImageableX();
        double pageSpUsedY = pageFormat.getImageableY();
        double pageSpUsedWidth = pageFormat.getImageableWidth();
        double pageSpUsedHeight = pageFormat.getImageableHeight();
        System.out.print("larghezza pg = " + pageWidth);
        System.out.println(" ; altezza pg = " + pageHeight);
        System.out.print ("area usabile X = " + pageSpUsedX);
        System.out.println(" ; area usabile Y = " + pageSpUsedY);
        System.out.print("area usabile larghezza = " + pageSpUsedWidth);
        System.out.println(" ; area usabile altezza = " + pageSpUsedHeight);
        g2.drawString("x as", (float)pageSpUsedX                         , (float)pageSpUsedY);
        g2.drawString("x ad", (float)pageSpUsedX + (float)pageSpUsedWidth, (float)pageSpUsedY);
        g2.drawString("x bs", (float)pageSpUsedX                         , (float)pageSpUsedY + (float)pageSpUsedHeight);
        g2.drawString("x bd", (float)pageSpUsedX+ (float)pageSpUsedWidth , (float)pageSpUsedY + (float)pageSpUsedHeight);
                return Printable.PAGE_EXISTS;
    }But the result is not what I expected to be....
I am working at a program that have to print 'something' on paper's labels
placed in a normal sheet format A4.
and for this purpose it is very important to have the contrlo where the letters are wrote..
I don't know what it is wrong and I need some help..
thank you in advance..

tomyMrsangelo

hi Andre,
thank you to answering me,
I tried with your code but still I have not the control that I would have printing.
Perhaps I misunderstand the role and the means of the parameters used for set the printable
area.......
For example.. when I set the margins in this way:
MediaPrintableArea area = new MediaPrintableArea(10, 10, 170, 255, MediaPrintableArea.MM);
I expect to have one area printable with the shape of a rectangle that, on a sheet of
paper A4 format, begin in the corner up to left in the point (5, 10) and have a horizontal size
of 180 millimeters and a vertical size of 265 millimeters.
But this is not happen..., I measured the horizontal side in 150 millimeters (instead 170) and
the vertical size in 248 millimeters (instead 255)....
Measuring the coords of the corner on top to left, I got (5, 13) and not (10, 10).
.....I tried with other values of parameters and never I got the exact values that I expected to have.
Having to print labels glued on a paper sheet - A4 format,
*I need to be sure that when the statement
g2.drawString("x", 0, 0);
is executed
The character x is wrote, on the paper, at the point 10, 10. *
Perhaps
g2.drawString("+", 0, 0);
is not the right operation to get this target..... ????

HP Officejet Pro 8620 Shifted Margins when printing

The only problem I find when printing paper is that the margins are always shifted. The margins of the paper on my PC display Is different to when Officejet Pro 8620 prints the paper. I tried printing with borderless on, but the margins are either to close to the top of the paper; I also tried printing with borderless off, but the margins shifts way below compared to the paper on the computer display. My older printer HP Officejet 4500 wireless has a "minimize margins" option, and the printer always prints exactly as it is on the display; however, it is no so with my newer Pro printer. I tried going to advanced options and clicking on preserve layout, which is available only when doing 2-sided printing, and the margins were still shifted; there are pictures on the bottom that can show you. I looked around preference options of the printer, paper setup, printer properties, tried readjusting settings, but the problem is persisting. I do not want to go any further, or else I might screw everything up. Additionally, the problem is not with the copy settings of the printer, I looked there too and the margin shift is turned off. Please help me find a solution. I use this printer to print books, and I need to finish it ASAP, thank you for your support Printed Paper Page 1: Printed paper margins are shifted slightly higher, compared to PC display paper   Printed Paper Page 2: Printed paper margins are shifted down, compared to PC display paper   Paper Displayed on Computer: Observe the top margin distance from the top of the screen

For the first question: Yes, when I print multiple page copies in 1-sided or 2-sided format it makes margin shifts. 1-sided printing margin is shifted down for all pages. 2-sided printing margin shifts up for odd pages and shifts down for even pages.This would mean it's something in the hardware that is causing the shifting.  HP regularly releases firmware updates that may help. You can click on this link to Get Printer Updates for HP Officejet Pro. I would also check for crumpled paper inside the printer. All of the steps can be found here, but I copied the main step for you. Check the carriage path for obstructions with a flashlight;Place your fingers into the slot on the left side of the printer, and then pull to open the cartridge access door. The carriage moves into the access area. Wait until the carriage is idle and silent before you continue.Disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer, and then unplug the power cord from the power source or electrical outlet.Use a flashlight to check for torn pieces of paper that might remain inside the printer.

It sounds like either the font is corrupted or your AddressBook prefs are whacked.
You can check the font in FontBook > File> Validate Fonts, or in /Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist move it to the desktop and restart.

Extra margins when printing double sided

I'm using Word 2007 and have created recipe cards using a basic recipe templete in Word. I have the top margin set to .25 and I'm printing on a regular 8x11 piece of card stock (I want to simply cut the sides and bottom down to make a 4x6 index card).
However, the margin is printing at almost .75 when I print double sided. Any help would greatly appreciated! I've been working on this problem for two days and I bought the printer to print both sides.
Thanks!

Did you ever figure this out? Because my C309g changes my margins when I print double sided, and I can't find any info on it anywhere...!

Howto change left/right margin when print

In a report we defined a left margin of 2 cm and a right margin of 1 cm.
When printing the report simplex everything is ok.
But when printing the report duplex we want to change the margins. Odd pages should print "normal" - but the page on the back, i.e. even pages, should then be "moved" to the left. That means the left margin has to be 1 cm and the right margin 2 cm.
How can we achieve this behavior?

Hi Rainer
For information on settings for Duplex printing please refer to the below link:

Margins when printing handouts.

When printing a handout from slides is there a way to increase the margins? Keynote prints the slides (and rules if you use them) almost right out to the edge of the page. I couldn't find anything on this in the help file.
Thanks.

To set a custom margin, you need to create a custom paper size. To do this, go into Page Setup, and under Paper Size choose Manage Custom Sizes. In the new dialog, click the plus sign at the bottom left to create a new size. Set the paper size to whatever you want (it should be 8.5X11" for letter, of course), and then set the margins to the size you need. Once you click the OK button, this paper size will now be available to choose in the Page Setup dialog.

? The prints from Elements are not as sharp as when printed from the card Why? help please

The prints from the memory card are much sharper than when printed from Adobe Elements Is this normal or is there a reason ? help please

ECol a écrit:
As far as I am aware the card is read by the computer as it is without any form of enhancement and sent to the computer and printed.
If I print from the Photo Gallery the prints are as sharp as above.
I would have expected printing from Photoshop to be the same.
No, that's not that simple. Printing means resizing (resampling) most of the time and depending on your printer type/printer driver, a default sharpening is generally applied.
By the way, more sharpening does not necessarily mean better quality. That's the advantage of being able to control both resizing and sharpening from the editing software. There has been many books written on the 'art' of sharpening.

HT3771 How do I adjust print margins when printing from Safari?

When I try to print email from Safari, my messages go all the way to the edge of the paper and get cut off. I can't find any page set up adjustments for margins when in Safari, like I can in other software (Word, Excel, etc.). All I can find are page size, orientation, etc.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We're all users here.
Let me hazard a wild guess that you're using Outlook, formerly Hotmail, for email in your web browser.
When the forced 'downgrade' from Hotmail to Outlook occurred, they decided to hide some frequently used commands and made simple message printing from a browser print command nearly impossible, at least for Mac users.
The trick is to use the Print command now hidden within the Outlook menu bar.
It's in the "..." section of the Outlook top menu bar following Categories along with "Mark Read, Mark Unread, Flag, Unflag, and View Message Source".
Select Print from there, it will open a new Outlook Print Message window. You should once again be able to print emails in their entirety.

Preview whites out margins when printing PDF document to HP 2610

I am attempting to print a PDF document from Preview to my HP 2610 printer.
I am finding that there appears to be a "default margin" in which no text may be printed.
Let's say I have the word "apple" relatively near the left edge of a paper - what I see on the print-out is "pple".
The document looks fine in preview; however in the print dialogue box I can see that the miniature image has the image clipped. If I click "shrink to fit page" then the document is collapsed into the area within the margin.
I don't want a margin - I want the document printed as-is. How does one fix this in preview? I am guessing that if I ponied up the money for adobe acrobat this would not be a problem.
-Russ

See if this helps...
Type a percentage in the Scale box. (If you want to enlarge the printout, type a value
greater than 100. To reduce the printout, type a value less than 100. Then, be sure to Tab out of the Scale field after you enter the new value, or it will not stick.
