Determine your desktop printer's nonprintable region

  1. On the Microsoft Windows taskbar, click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Printers.
  2. Right-click the name of the printer you're using, and then click Properties.
  3. Click the Paper tab.

    If the Properties dialog box does not have a Paper tab, click the other tabs until you find one that contains information on the nonprintable region. If you don't find one, check your printer manual or contact your printer manufacturer.

  4. Click Unprintable Area.

    The numbers in the Left, Right, Top, and Bottom boxes represent the size of the nonprintable region in inches. If you want to see the measurements in millimeters, under Units, click Millimeters.

  5. Click OK in both dialog boxes.
