Page margins for A4

Page margins for A4

In layout mode FM shows the page for A4 205 X 270mm but every printer has sizes for A4 210X297mm. This makes the document to be printed in less area of the paper. I tried to fix page margins of the layout printing but the mistake is regard to the dimensions of the paper not of the page. I suppose that FM takes the dimensions of the paper the printer gives not its dimensions. Any help please...

Very few printers can actually print from edge to edge. I think your printer is saying these are the maximums it can do.

Really FM shows different dimensions in layout than the preview mode for the page. I speak about the dotted line in the layout that indicates the bottom margins. Preview mode has 2cm more so I have problems in printing the document to the right dimensions.

Finaly I adjusted the printer options to 2cm more and I fixed the printout area but I still wondering why FM shows difference previews in layout and in preview mode.
