Problem

Symptoms: When a user prints a legal size document, the minimum margins are too small. This causes the top and bottom portions of the page to be cut off. The customer is using the Tektronix Phaser II printer with the Tektronix Color PX driver. If the customer puts a legal piece of paper in the printer, the document prints fine as long as the paper is set to letter size. Solutions: This is the way the printer is designed. The printer has a ribbon with three or four colors on it. Red, blue, yellow and black (on the four color ribbon). The colors are set in squares one after another and the printer rolls through a whole set per page. The size of these squares is what limits the margin settings. The ribbon with only three colors has slightly larger squares. Due to a printer ribbon limitation, the top/bottom margins of legal sheets should not be set less than 1.5". Tektronix was contacted to see if they have a ribbon to work with legal sheets. Currently they do not nor are they planning on one in the future.
