Vertical Trimmer:
Leave this option enabled if you want the printer to automatically trim away the unused space on the print. Turn it off if you would prefer to manually trim the print
Cutting Lines:
When enabled, this option will print dashed lines around the edge of the printed file to assist with manual trimming
