On the “Borderless Print” setting in 
“Printer Features”
When using an application other than the 
Picture Motion Browser, an image might be 
printed with borders even if you select “ON” 
for  “Borderless Print” in “Printer Features” of 
the “Sony DPP-FP65/75 Advanced Options”

print the image with borders within the 
specified range.
If this occurs, do the following to print an 
image without borders:
 When you can set the print range with an 
application, set an image to be printed fully
