Printer Calibration Sheet Generator
by Glynn Clements

Note: A printer driver must be loaded before this program is run.

When run, this program prints horizontal and vertical rulers which extend across the full page width and height. The rulers are calibrated so that they begin at the left hand side of the page and at the bottom of the page respectively.

Using a ruler to locate the origin may reveal that it does not lie exactly at the bottom left hand corner of the page. It may or may not be possible to correct this.

The printed rulers will also indicate the location of the print margin. The appropriate values can then be entered in the 'Page size' dialogue box in the printer driver's control application. This will result in the print margins being shown correctly in applications such as Draw.
