    							Execute Borderless PrintingThe borderless printing function allows you to print data without any margin by enlarging the data so that it
    extends slightly off the paper. In standard printing, margins are created around the document area.
    However, in borderless printing function, these margins are not created. When you want to print data such
    as a photo without providing any margin around it, set borderless printing.
    The procedure for performing borderless printing is as follows:
    You can also set borderless printing in  Additional Features on the Quick Setup  tab.

    Adjust the amount of extension from the paper
    If necessary, adjust the amount of extension using the  Amount of Extension slider.
    Moving the slider to the right increases the amount extending off the paper, and moving the slider to
    the left decreases the amount. It is recommended to set the slider at the second position from the right for most cases.
    Important
    •
    When the  Amount of Extension  slider is set to the rightmost position, the back side of the
    paper may become smudged.
    5.
    Complete the setup
    Click  OK.
    When you execute print, the data is printed without any margins on the paper.

    •
    When a page size that cannot be used for borderless printing is selected, the size is automatically
    changed to the valid page sizes for borderless printing.
    •
    When  Borderless  is selected, the  Printer Paper Size , Duplex Printing (Manual) , Stapling Side
    settings, and the  Stamp/Background...  (Stamp... ) button on the  Page Setup tab appear grayed out
    and are unavailable.
    •
    When  Other Fine Art Paper , Envelope , High Resolution Paper  or T-Shirt Transfers  is selected
    from the  Media Type  list on the Main tab, you cannot perform borderless printing.
    •
    Depending on the type of the media used during borderless printing, the print quality may deteriorate
    at the top and bottom of the sheet or stains may form.
    •
    When the ratio of the height to the width differs from the image data, a portion of the image may not
    be printed depending on the size of the media used.
    In this case, crop the image data with an application software according to the paper size.
    Note
    •
    When  Plain Paper  is selected for  Media Type on the Main tab, borderless printing is not
    recommended. Therefore, the message for media selection appears.
    When you are using plain paper for test printing, select  Plain Paper, and click OK.
    Expanding the Range of the Document to Print
    Setting a large amount of extension allows you to perform borderless printing with no problems. However, the portion of the document extending off the paper range will not be printed and for this reason, the
    subjects around the perimeter of a photo may not be printed.
    When you are not satisfied with the result of borderless printing, reduce the amount of extension. The
    extension amount decreases as the  Amount of Extension slider is moved to the left.
    17
     
    						
    							Important•
    When the amount of extension is decreased, an unexpected margin may be produced on the print,depending on the size of the paper.

    full size. If you set this when printing the address side of a postcard, the postal code of the sender is
    printed in the correct position.

    margin before printing.
