SUMMARY
=======

According to Hewlett-Packard (HP) Product Support for the DeskJet, the following
table shows the non-printing areas for the DeskJet 500c and 550c printers. Note
that these areas change significantly depending on which print mode you are
using. For example, in Color/Composite Black mode, the whole print job shifts
.25 inch up the page in portrait orientation and .25 inch to the right in
landscape orientation.
