Hi,

Im trying to Plot on HP DesignJet 1050C plotter with printable area to match my paper size, centered. I 've set the paper edge offset to ZERO but to no avail.
Help.

You can't print to the edge of your paper. Check you manual for margins,
"left", "right", "leading edge" & "trailing edge".

wfb,

I know it is not possible to print to the edge of the paper, and I would apolagize for not being clear at first. What I meant was, is there a way to remove paper edge offset from default paper sizes and type Zero for no edge offset especially when making custom paper sizes. why do
defaullt sizes have edge offsets in the first place. Wouldn't it be o.k if they just leave that part to the user and determine how much distance he/she want to print from the edge. I usually have 3/4" offset but the paper shifts to the right and down about 1/2" and I can't fix it with the zero edge that I want so my print could center on my custom size sheet that I want. Is there a way around this? Thanks.

Thanks
 
Generally I have plotted to a view. I use my standard boundary and make a
"view" of it. Plot the "view", either in have it in Pspace or Mspace and
you can control what you want. (You can control the location of the boundary
on the sheet with the x & y in the setup.)
Remember, with 2 versions of trailing edge and leading edge and is it
portrait or landscape, there are quite a number of things to consider for
the 1050c.
