35- protrudes into the margins. To check the margins, activate the :ref: `developer mode
36- <developer-mode>`, go to :menuselection: `General Settings --> Technical --> Reporting
37- section: Paper Format `.
38- - A square of **15mm by 15mm ** on the bottom left corner has to stay clear.
39- - The postage area has to stay clear (:download: `download the snailmail PDF template
40- <snailmail/snailmail-template.pdf>` for more details).
41- - Pingen (Odoo Snailmail service provider) scans the area to process the address, so if something
42- gets written outside the area, it is not counted as part of the address.
28+ Documents sent via snailmail must respect the following rules:
29+
30+ - The paper format must be **A4 **.
