How do I set printer margin when printing a drawing?

I recently got portable thermal printer. but it doesn't seem to support margine-less printing. It always prints it smaller and I need to print documents in 1:1 scale. There is printer shop near my house, so I compared output from there and found out that my printer always puts about 4mm of margin.
The white space around black rectangle in drawing is longer than 4mm so I think it should be possible to adjust documentation size, so that it fits perfectly within my printer's spec.
How do I set printer margin so that it's perfect 1:1 scale?

In the printer driver dialog (not within onshape) set the format to centered and 100%. Ideally, don't print the drawings from the browser, but create a PDF instead and print that.
