Summary
You can confirm the current settings in the Print dialog.
Note:
The Summary option is a standard feature of Mac OS X.
Amount of 
EnlargementUsing the slider, you can control the amount of the 
image that extends beyond the edges of paper 
during borderless printing.
For most print jobs, Standard is recommended to 
eliminate margins on all sides of 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 paper.
