Advanced Guide > Printing from a Computer > Printing with Other Application Software > Various Printing Methods > Borderless Printing Borderless Printing The borderless printing function allows you to print data without any margin by enlarging the data so that it extends slightly off the paper. Without the borderless printing function, a margin is provided around the printed data. If you want to print data such as a photo without providing any margin around it, select Borderless Printing. The procedure for performing borderless printing is as follows: Setting Borderless Printing 1.Open the printer driver setup window 2.Set borderless printing Check the Borderless Printing check box on the Page Setup tab. Click OK when the confirmation message appears. When a message prompting you to change the media type appears, select a media type from the list and click OK. 3.Check the paper size Check the Page Size list. If you want to change, select another page size from the list.

It is recommended to set the slider at the second position from the right for most cases. Important If you set the slider at the rightmost position, the back side of the paper may become smudged. 5.Complete the setup Click OK. The data will be printed without any margins on the paper. Important If 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 High Resolution Paper, T-Shirt Transfers, or Envelope is selected from the Media Type list on the Main tab, you cannot perform borderless printing. When Borderless Printing is checked, the Printer Paper Size, Page Layout, Staple Side (when Duplex Printing is not selected) settings, and the Stamp/Background... button on the Page Setup tab appear grayed out and are unavailable. Print quality may deteriorate or the sheet may be stained at the top and bottom depending on the type of the media used. When the ratio of the height to the width differs greatly 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, and therefore the dialog box for media selection appears. If you are using plain paper for test printing, select Plain Paper, and click OK. Expanding the range of the document to print Specifying a large amount of extension allows you to perform borderless printing with no problems. However, the portion of the document that extends off the paper range will not be printed. Subjects around the perimeter of a photo may not be printed. Try borderless printing once. If you are not satisfied with the result of borderless printing, reduce the amount of extension. The extension amount becomes shorter as the Amount of Extension slider is moved to the left. Important If the Amount of Extension is shortened, an unexpected margin may be produced on the print, depending on the size of the paper. Note If Preview before printing is checked on the Main tab, you can confirm before printing whether there will be no border. Page top Page 238 of 758 pages Borderless Printing
