My E234 began printing off the right margin of the page. This is not due to any software printing setup/margins. Even a config page with no PC attached, or a .pdf file set to print centered prints the same. Identical pages printed on an inkjet print fine, but not on the E234. Lexmark Tech support was of no help. They just said it must be defective and to have it serviced. This is a relatively new printer, with only 7400 page count. Photoconductor shows nearly 100% yet. Left margin looks normal, but printing goes right off right side of normal letter paper. Also found that any attempt to switch from "Normal" to the "Best" print quality setting results in error with all front panel lights blinking. Printer must then be powered off and back on to print again. This WAS a great printer. Appreciate any advise. Thanks.
No i've been doing alot of research still no answer .... went into settings (service mode) adjusted margins no go, replaced laser unit main board fuser AND NOTHING for right now no repair...did read something thatonly lexmark can fix it you as a tech can not WEIRD. i think it also might be influenced by remanufactured toner .... i would like more info on this if anyone has. AND NO ITS NOT THE TRAY EITHER.

By spacing, I assume you mean the margins at the centre.
The default margin settings are not the same for the right and left hand side of the page, so the printing on the reverse side is offset from the printing on the first side.
The right margin is always wider to allow for punch holes in file paper.
It is not the printer settings you need to adjust, it is the page layout of your word processing software.
Adjust the margin settings manually. In MS Office 2007:
You need to check the margin settings in the print preview option, make sure you decrease the margins that are set by default and try printing a test page , this should work fine.
On the File menu, you need to click Page Setup, and then click the Margins tab. Here you can adjust the margins as per your convenience.
To View page margins :-
You need to go on the Tools menu, select Options, and then select the View tab.
Under Print and Web Layout options, select the Text boundaries check box.
The page margins appear in your document as dotted lines.
You can use these dotted lines to correct your margins so that your student's assignments are not cut off and there is no large margin as you have mentioned in your question.
You can view page margins in either Print Layout or Web Layout view only, and they do not appear on the printed page.
I assume this error is occuring in Microsoft Word.
Create a new document, with a full page of the label you are having trouble printing.
To see the margin settings of your document, go to File > Page Setup (or Page Layout > Margins > Custom Margins for Word 2007).
Click OK on the margins dialog, and Word will check the settings against your currently selected printer. If a margin is set outside the printable area (usually the bottom margin set to zero), you should see the warning message.
Click the Fix button to have Word change the margins to match your printer. You should now see the Margins dialog with the new margin settings.
Click OK.
One thing to watch for- on some inkjet printers, the printable area is narrower than the labels. This will cause the labels to shift to the right on the page and be misaligned when you print. If the labels run off the right edge of the page display, or are misaligned when you print, an extra procedure is needed.
Undo ([Ctrl]+[Z]) the new margin setting, or create a new page from the label template again.
Select the entire table of labels ([Ctrl]+[A]).
Right-click the table, and select Table Properties.
Click the Text wrapping "Around" option, then the Positioning button.
Change the Horizontal position to Center, Relative to Page. Uncheck the "Move with text" option. Click OK to the Table Positioning dialog, then click OK to the Table Properties dialog.
Left-click (or press an arrow key) to "deselect" the table, then go into the margins dialog (see above) and allow Word to fix the margin settings again.
With the labels aligned to the page, rather than the margins, the new margin settings should not cause the labels to shift.
Once you have the margins set correctly for your printer, I would save the empty page of labels to use as a "template".
Hi,
here is solution..
Solution
Step one: Make sure that the product prints correctly
Print a self-test page from the product control panel, from Windows, or from the product software. (See the product user guide, available online, for instructions to print a self-test page.)
Check to make sure that black and all colors (if using a color product) print on the self-test page.
If the self-test page does not print correctly, an issue might exist with the product hardware. See the product user guide, available online, for further troubleshooting steps.
If the self-test page prints correctly, continue with the next step.
Step two: Determine what portion of the page is set to print
Many Web pages use frames. Frames divide the screen into multiple windows. Follow these steps to determine what portion of the page is set to print.
Click the Internet Explorer icon on the desktop. The Internet Explorer window opens.
On the File menu, click Print . The Print dialog box opens.
Click the Options tab to view the print settings.
Change the settings if required, and then click Print .
Step three: Change the Encoding setting in the Web browser
Click the Internet Explorer icon on the desktop. The Internet Explorer window opens.
On the Menu bar, click View .
Click Encoding to view a list of encoding options.
Check the Encoding settings.
If Auto Select has a check mark next to it, click to clear the check box.
If Western European Windows does not have a check mark next to it, select it.
Try printing again. If the issue continues, proceed to the next step.
Step four: Check the page setup settings for the Web browser
Web pages are designed to be viewed at a certain screen resolution. If the resolution of the screen is lower than the resolution of the Web page, the whole screen might not display or might not be printed.
Make sure that Internet Explorer is open.
On the File menu, click Page Setup . The Page Setup dialog box opens.
Review the Margins information.
Make sure that the margin settings are greater than or equal to the minimum printable region margins for the product.
The margins vary slightly among HP All-in-One products. As a general rule, the settings should be at least the values shown in the following table.
Side MarginTop MarginBottom Margin
6.3 mm (0.25 inch)
6.3 mm (0.25 inch)
6.3 mm (0.25 inch)
Make necessary changes to the margin settings.
Click OK to save the changes.
Try printing again. If the issue continues, proceed to the next step.
Step five: Print using Smart Web printing software
HP Smart Web Printing is fast, free, downloadable software that enhances how Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox print Web pages. Use HP Smart Web Printing for the following tasks:
Select text and graphics from any Web site
Save paper by combining portions of numerous Web pages
Could be as simply as the right print margin in the application you are using. Try printing a test page by right-clicking on the printer in Printers and Faxes in Control Panel and select Properties. If the test page prints ok then check the margins in the application you are using - usually File>Page Setup. The right margin could be set to 5.0 in instead of 0.5 in.
have you adjusted the page setup on your software? I'm assuming you're using Word to print a mail merge. yes?
Check that the margins are setup properly in the "word document" Go undetr file, page setup, and confirm the envelope size is set properly. Check the page setup in the printing preferences. File, Print, Printing Preferences.
The printer accepts whatever margins microsoft word tells it to use.
Hi there check the print margins within MS Word goto
File
Page Setup
Margins
And check that they are OK. if not check that you haven't got the wrong size paper set in word. Same as above but select Paper size then check in the printer driver that you have the correct paper size selected and that you haven't selected a strange margin.
Do you mean the left margin is too large so all the content is shifted to the right and off the page?
If this is the case, it is probably a setting in Pagemaker. In the file menu, choose "page setup" or "print setup". Check the paper size. Check the margins.
