We have in our department two Apple LaserWriter Plus's and one Apple
LaserWriter IINT. The problem is that these beasts have different ideas about
the imageable areas. We are using A4 sized paper exclusively, but on the
other paper sizes there should be the same problem. I designed out
letterhead to fit exactly in the imageable area on the NT, but when I print
the same thing on the old LaserWriter, the last line disappears. The
imageable areas have different heights as can be seen form the PPD files:

APPLE422.PPD:*ImageableArea Letter: "18 8 593 784 "
APPLE422.PPD:*ImageableArea Legal: "65 42 547 966 "
APPLE422.PPD:*ImageableArea Note: "30 31 582 761 "
APPLE422.PPD:*ImageableArea A4: "18 23 577 819 "
APPLE422.PPD:*ImageableArea B5: "3 4 497 705 "
APPLE422.PPD:*ImageableArea LetterSmall: "30 31 582 761 "
APPLE422.PPD:*ImageableArea A4Small: "29 31 566 811 "

LWNT_470.PPD:*ImageableArea Letter: "15 8 597 784 "
LWNT_470.PPD:*ImageableArea Legal: "15 8 597 1000 "
LWNT_470.PPD:*ImageableArea Note: "31 31 583 761 "
LWNT_470.PPD:*ImageableArea A4: "13 10 577 832 "
LWNT_470.PPD:*ImageableArea B5: "21 10 500 715 "
LWNT_470.PPD:*ImageableArea LetterSmall: "31 31 583 761 "
LWNT_470.PPD:*ImageableArea A4Small: "27 31 567 811 "

Apart from the positioning (which may have to do with the transport
mechanism, the height of the imageable area for the LW+ is 819 pixels and
for the NT it is 832 pixels. This makes 13 pixels difference, Not enough
for the one disappearing line. So I suspect the clipping area to be an
additional problem. Does anybody know how to force the LW+ to behave as the
NT?
