Object in the printer's nonprinting region

Your printer might not be able to print things that are close to the edge of the page. Although the nonprinting region varies with each printer, it's best to leave .25 inch of blank space around the edge of the page.

If you purposely placed an object in the nonprinting area; for example, if you wanted to create a bleed, click the Ignore button (Tools menu, Design Checker).

If you did not purposely place an object in the nonprinting area, you can correct the problem by moving, deleting, or resizing the object.

Move an object

  1. Click the object to select it.
  2. Position the mouse pointer over the object until the pointer changes to the Move pointer.

Note   If the Guides command is turned on (Arrange menu, Snap command), the object might snap to the nearest guide when you release the mouse button. If this happens, turn off the Guides command, and then move the object.
