Matlab does not save the entire figure

I cannot get matlab to save my entire figure. There is something wrong with my papersize definitions, but I cannot control them using axes. How can I print the entire figure?

fig=figure; 
plot(x(200:1600),data(200:1600,[94 104 114 138 199 214 266]),'linewidth',2);axis tight;

Can you provide the data used in this example code and explain what you mean by "entire figure"?

I recommend using export_fig instead of print. It's easier to use, faster, the image quality is often better, and sizing/cropping are never issues.
