❏Printing with this feature takes longer time than normal printing.
❏Only Plain Paper and Plain Paper (line drawing) can set the bottom 
margin to 3 mm. When printing on the other media, the bottom 
margin is always 14 mm.
❏When Premium Glossy Photo Paper (250) roll paper or Premium 
Semigloss Photo Paper (250) roll paper is used in printing, the top 
margin is always 20 mm.
❏Smear may result in the top and bottom areas depending on the 
media.
To print your data with this feature, follow the steps below.
1. Select Borderless.
2. Click the Expansion button. The following dialog appears.
 
						

							136Printing with Mac OS 9.x 3. Choose Auto Expand or Retain Size from the pull-down 
menu.
4. Make the Auto Cut setting. See “Making the Auto Cut setting” 
on page 137.
5. Click OK.
Auto ExpandSelect this setting if you want to enlarge the size of 
print data automatically and print with no margins. 
You can choose the amount of enlargement by 
moving the slider.
Note:
Enlarged areas that exceed the paper size will not 
be printed on the paper.
Retain SizeSelect this setting if you do not want to change the 
ratio of your print data.
If you select this setting, you need to enlarge your 
image data to exceed the paper width, to avoid 
unprinted areas appearing along the left and right 
edges. Enlarging 3 mm in both the left and right 
directions is recommended, using the application 
that created the data.
To use this feature, see “Making the Paper Sizes 
setting” on page 132.
Amount of 
EnlargementWhen you select Auto Expand, the slider becomes 
available. Using the slider, you can control the 
amount of the image that extends beyond the 
edges of the paper during borderless printing.
For most print jobs, Standard is recommended in 
order to eliminate margins on all sides of the paper.
In a very humid environment, the width of paper may 
expand due to moisture absorption. In this case, 
move the slider to Max to eliminate margins around 
the image. If Max is selected, the center of the image 
may move about 1 mm to the right.
Moving the slider towards Min decreases the amount 
of the image enlargement; however, as this amount 
decreases, margins may appear on one or more 
sides of the paper.
