Jedi's MC H2 helm, printer settings:
Landscape
Border margins: 5mm on each
the rest is as it was. - Ice

ok, I got that file. just looked at it, so time for more questions. Did you size the helm before you tried to do a test print? Are you sure under printer set up you have 8.5"x11" selected?

Paper size:letter (8.5X11)
Scale 25.18 (height=26.5cm)

Ok I used your values for scale, granted a few pieces had to be moved so it would print clearly. Just go into print preview see what's getting chopped then go to the 2d window and move the pieces as close to center of the paper as possible. Then back to print preview to double check. If you still are having problems I don't know what to tell you. I would PM a few of the more knowable Pep people on the board. Good luck.

Alright, thanks man. NOT
That didnt answer my question
My question was
Why isnt it printing the sides even when their in the MIDDLE of the page

 

[charlie tuna]

Check your print preview to see if the margins there match the settings you set in the pep program, if they don't match that could be why you're not getting edges.

 

[JediFraz]

Maybe because my H2 Pep files were laid out for A4 paper size.
If your printing A4 on letter sized paper that's why it's chopping the edges.

A4>Letter.

I believe somebody redid the layouts for Letter size, but I can't recall who. Search is your friend.

Also check that the page setup and printer setups are the same. First time I tried to print the Pepakura file was set to landscape but the printer was set to portrait.

[AoBfrost]

Set it to letter, landscape or whatever how you want it, and set the borders to the lowest which is 5. You get about the same as A4.

Then, make sure your printer itself is set to landscape/portriat.

Don't be like that. We don't have to help you, you know.

It sounds like everyone here has listed off (and yes, repeated) what you've already done. Maybe a photo of what your talking about would help.
