Define the printable area of a document

You can define the printable area of a document with an alternate .PPD file, which enforces a 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) margin for defined paper sizes, thereby preventing documents from being "clipped" when printed.

    The Control Panel window appears.

  2. Double-click Administrative Tools.

    The Administrative Tools dialog box appears.

  3. Double-click Services.

    The Services window appears.

  4. Right-click FH Web Application Publishing Service, and then choose Stop from the menu that appears.
