(Sorry for my English, I'm Hungarian.)
I'm printing on A4 in the first place.
|-----------0.5 cm-------------|
||----------1.0 cm------------||
|||---------1.5 cm-----------|||
||| |||
||| |||
||| |||
... ...
||| |||
||| |||
||| |||
|||---------1.5 cm-----------|||
The margin line at 1.0 cm is not showed up.
The margin line at 0.5 cm is not showed up.
If I set up the printer right then I expect the following picture with
printed margin lines:
|-----------0.5 cm-------------|
||----------1.0 cm------------||
|||---------1.5 cm-----------|||
||| |||
||| |||
||| |||
... ...
||| |||
||| |||
||| |||
|||---------1.5 cm-----------|||
||----------1.0 cm------------||
|-----------0.5 cm-------------|
How can I set up the printer to get printed documents like this?
Any advices is appreciated!
