Does anyone know why the "margin" on the right side of an A-size sheet in paper space (layout) is wider than the left "margin"? When I say "margin" I mean the space outside the printable area in a layout.
I should add that I am plotting with an HP DeskJet 1220C plotter. I'll describe the problem for those of you who use the same plotter:
I open a new drawing,
switch from model space to layout 1,
click the plot icon,
select the HP DeskJet 1220C plotter,
select LETTER for a paper size (A-size),
then I click on apply to layout,
then cancel,
and behold......the dashed line that shows the plotting area on an A-size sheet is off center. The Right margin is larger than the left.
I've narrowed the problem down to the plotter. If I use an a-size sheet with a different plot device it works just fine. But not with the HP 1220C. Is there a way that it can be corrected? I've explored some of the possibilities as far as printer preferences and settings with no luck.
