Important

• If

Amount of Extension

is set to the second from the right, create the source document with a

size 2mm larger on each of the top, bottom, left and right sides than the size of the paper you wish
to print.

Important

• If you place a checkmark next to the

Borderless Printing

option, the

Page Layout

and

Print Centered

options in the

Layout

tab will be displayed in gray out and you will not be able to configure them.

• Depending on paper size, the length/width ratio of the paper may be different from that of the image,

making it impossible for the whole image to fit on the paper.
When this happens, crop the image with the application software to match paper size.

• When printing borderless, printing may stop abruptly and the paper will be cut causing a slight color

unevenness on the edges of the paper. If you require exceptionally high quality, in the

Roll Paper

Options

dialog box select

from the

Automatic Cutting

list. When you do so, the document will be

printed without the left and right margins. After the printed material has exited the printer and has been
cut, cut the upper and lower edges with a pair of scissors.

• When printing borderless on paper with low ink-fixing properties, depending on frequency of use, the

cutter unit may come into contact with the paper surface scratching it and causing the paper to be
unevenly cut.
You may be able to improve the situation by clicking

Specify...

on the

Main

tab and, in the

Paper

Detailed Settings

dialog box, under

Drying Time

, set

Between Pages

to a higher value.

• Margins may be formed on the left and right of the document even when borderless printing is set.

Also, stains may appear on the back of the paper.

• If margins are formed on the left and right of the document, adjust the amount extending off paper

during borderless printing from the printer's control panel.
See "

Borders appear in borderless printing

" for details on how to set the amount extending off paper.

Note

• When using applications like Microsoft Word which allow you to set margins, set margins to 0 mm.
