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 Size setting” on page 51. 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.

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.
