Ah yes, I see what you are saying. The test I did this morning was
a very small board about 2" x 2" in the upper left corner of the
sheet. This moved the sheet center off of the PCB area on the print

centerline of the paper, I should be alright...
Phew.. drove myself nuts with that this morning! I should know
better than to roll out of bed and start thinking right away!
