Specifies the position of the plot on the media.

This options group lets you control the position of the plot on the media. All positioning parameters are specified in the unit selected in the Configuration dialog box menu.

Image Alignment

You will position the printed document on the paper with respect to the corners as points of reference. Then, you will use the horizontal and vertical shift options to fine tune the exact positioning.

Horizontal Shift Correction

Once you have defined where the plot will be positioned with respect to a point of reference, you can adjust the horizontal margin. Select either the left or right side then enter the appropriate value in the right-hand field.

The shift is declared in the unit selected in the Configuration dialog box.

Vertical Shift Correction

Once you have defined where the plot will be positioned with respect to a point of reference, you can adjust the vertical margin. Select either the top or bottom side then enter the appropriate value in the right-hand field.

The shift is declared in the unit selected in the Configuration dialog box.

Leading Edge Correction

You can adjust the length of the plot by adding or removing a length to the top of the printed document. For example, this is useful for adding or removing a filing strip.

Once you have selected add or remove, enter the appropriate length in the right-hand field. The dimension is declared in the unit selected in the Configuration dialog box.

NoteThe Océ 9400 printer does not allow you to remove the leading edge.

Trailing Edge Correction

You can adjust the length of the plot by adding or removing a length to the bottom of the printed document. Once you have selected add or remove, enter the appropriate length in the right-hand field. The dimension is declared in the unit selected in the Configuration dialog box.

NoteThe Océ 9400 printer does not allow you to remove the trailing edge.
