print area

Designated output region

Print area is the portion of a document designated for printing.

In spreadsheet software, setting a print area limits output to selected cells rather than the entire sheet: I set the print area to exclude the draft columns.

The term also applies to the printable region within page margins, excluding borders where printers cannot deposit ink.
