Print area changed
I made a layout template for ArchC with the borders all around an 1/8" inside of the print area box (blue box that presents the paper margins). This box was originally evenly set around the paper edge somewhere around a 1/4". The first time I did a print preview, the bottom of this box shfted up around twice the distance it was before, cutting off my first two page border lines. It has remained there and I can't find any place to set margins.
Before I redo the template, I was wondering if this is common? It looks kinda strange with the top and sides being one margin width and the bottom double. It also prints exactly the way the preview shows.Randy

Be sure your print preferences are correct and your printer settings are correct.

Tommy,
They're as right as they're ever gonna get. I'm the guy who posted all that stuff about HP's 110Nr. I'm just happy I got it to print, so I certainly don't mind reworking the template. I was just curious if anyone had seen this behaviour before and if so, what might be the cause.Randy

I 'think' I found the problem. Print area is set by the printer's driver - which probably vary slightly my manufacturer and can't be addressed much less adjusted. I created the layout template using CA's print format without selecting the printer first (I didn't even have the printer driver installed, but figured I could make the template regardless). Wrong again.
I created a new template and selected the printer before any work, and the print area outline box now showed with the plotter's acceptable boundaries.Randy
