(3)Printing Type
Select the printing method from among the following.
Normal-size PrintingThe document is printed according to the original 
dimensions. This setting is usually selected by default. 
Fit-to-Page PrintingThe document is automatically resized to Þt the paper size. 
When using this function, ensure you correctly specify the 
Page Size and the Printer Paper Size. 
Scaled PrintingThe document is resized when printed. When this is 
selected, you can specify the Printer Paper Size and 
Scaling.
Page Layout PrintingPages are reduced and printed so that 2 to 16 document 
pages Þt on each printed page. With Windows NT 4.0, only a 
2-page layout is possible.
Poster PrintingThis enlarges and splits the print image across several 
sheets of paper. The printed sheets can then be assembled 
to make a large poster. (Not available in Windows NT 4.0)
Booklet PrintingThe multiple-page document is printed so that two pages of 
the document Þt on each printed page. The print order is set 
automatically. After the document is printed, you can create 
a booklet by folding and saddle-stitching the document. (Not 
available in Windows NT4.0)
Banner PrintingSelect this when printing on banner paper.
(4)Borderless Printing
The image is printed on the entire paper surface, so that no margins are left on the 
four sides of the paper.  The media types available for Borderless Printing are PR-101, 
PP-101, MP-101 and GP-301/GP-301N.  For all other media types, the print quality 
may decrease.

(5)Amount of Extension
When you select Borderless Printing, the sections that extend beyond the paper are 
not printed because the image is enlarged to a size slightly larger than the paper size.  
You can use the slide bar to adjust how much the image extends beyond the paper.  
Canon recommends that under normal conditions you set the slide bar to the third 
mark from the left, counting the leftmost mark as zero.  If you move the slide bar to the 
left to reduce the extension amount, a border may appear.
(6)Duplex Printing
The document is printed on both sides of the paper. After printing one side, turn the 
ejected page over, and print on the other side.
(7)Reverse Order
When selected, the document starts printing with the last page. 
(8)Collate
Select to print multiple copies of the document one copy at a time.
