The problem is the word 'side': we talk about front side, back side, right side, left side... In general the use of the word side is used to refer to a page sheet surface. I think extending its use to refer to the edge of the medium doesn't benefit clarity. > Do we really have to subtract out the borders? I don't know why the spec was written this way, but it seems to have been this way since 2003. Of the three implementations I have access to, HP and Epson follow the spec in this regard.

I'll work on it. :) Best wishes, Melinda
