Page size: 10x12 inches (254.0x304.8 mm)

Roll paper width: 10 inches (254.0 mm)

1. Create the original in the source application 3 mm (0.12 in) larger on each side than 254.0x304.8 mm (10 x 12 in) —that is, 260.0x310.8 mm (10.2 x 12.2 in)
   "*If you can specify the margin, as in Microsoft Word, set the margin at 0 mm.
   For instructions on specifying the margin, refer to the software documentation."
