2. Click the Expansion button. The Expansion dialog box 
appears.
3. Choose Auto Expand or Retain Size, and the amount of 
enlargement.
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 Size 
setting” on page 53.
 
						

							50Printing with Windows 4. Make the Auto Cut setting. For details, see “Making the Auto 
Cut setting” on page 50.
5. Click OK.
6. Start printing your data from your application.
Making the Auto Cut setting
This setting is available only when Roll Paper or Roll Paper 
(Banner) is selected as the Paper Source setting. You can select 
how the paper is cut after printing. 
Single Cut
Select this setting if you want to save paper. If you select this 
setting, the boundary of a picture or the boundary of a page is cut. 
However, the cut position may shift slightly.
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.
