To print documents or images you prepare without a margin at actual size, use an oversized paper size. For example, to print a A4-sized original without a margin at A4 size, print it on paper larger than A4 size and cut away the excess margin. Note • If you prepare an original for printing without a margin and print it on paper of regular size, the image near the edge will not be printed. Oversize The margin required by the printer is added around the outside of a regular paper size. For example, when printing a A4- sized original (210×297 mm), you have the following options. • (a) Regular paper size: Gray area not printed • (b) Page Size • (c) Oversized paper size: Print area matches the page size (b)Important • When printing on oversize paper, load paper larger than the page size—a size that includes the margin re- quired by the printer. • Sheets: Load paper that is at least 6 mm (0.24 in) wider and 26 mm (1 in) higher than the page size • Rolls: Load paper that is at least 6 mm (0.24 in) wider and 6 mm (0.24 in) higher than the page size Enhanced Printing Options > Printing at full size > iPF815 Printing on Oversized Paper 3 85
Note • Paper larger than the maximum size supported by the printer cannot be used as paper for oversized printing. (See "Paper Sizes →P.620 ") • To specify a non-standard paper size in oversized printing, register the paper size as a Custom Paper Size. Oversized printing is not available with Custom Size.(See "Printing on Non-Standard Paper Sizes →P.124 ") For instructions on oversized printing, refer to the following topics, as appropriate for your computer and operating system. •Printing at Full Size (Windows) →P.86 • Printing at Full Size (Mac OS X) →P.87 Printing at Full Size (Windows) This topic describes how to print at full size based on the following example.

Borderless Printing at Actual Size Take advantage of borderless printing to print documents such as posters (made up mainly of photos or images) without a surrounding margin, or border. Borderless Printing In regular printing, a margin required by the printer is added around the original. With borderless printing, you can print documents without the margin, so that the printed image covers the entire surface of the paper. Important • Borderless printing is only available with rolls. • Paper you can use for borderless printing is restricted to particular types of paper and rolls of particular widths. For information on types of paper compatible with borderless printing, refer to the Paper Reference Guide. (See "Types of Paper →P.617 ") • Paper incompatible with the printer's auto cut function can be printed without borders on the left and right sides only. • These features cannot be used in combination with borderless printing: special page layouts, centering origi- nals, and printing cut lines on rolls. • If Fit Paper Size or Print Image with Actual Size (Windows only) is selected when performing borderless printing, Rotate Page 90 degrees (Conserve Paper) cannot be selected. • When borderless printing is used, the edge of the paper is cut during printing. Thus, ink density may be un- even at the edges. If you require higher image quality, specify No in Auto Cut in the printer driver. In this case, the paper can be printed without borders on the left and right sides only. After ejecting and cutting the printed document, use scissors to cut away the top and bottom edges. • By factory default, the ink drying time is disabled for all paper. When you are using paper that takes longer for ink to adhere for borderless printing and the Cutter Unit touches printing surfaces that are not dry yet, it may damage the paper or the edge of the document that is cut, depending on frequency of use. In this case, follow these steps to change the ink drying time. 1. On the Main sheet of the printer driver, click Settings in Media Type. 2. Select the ink drying time in the Between Pages list of Drying Time. • Before borderless printing, make sure the blue Switch on the platen is set toward the ● side. (See "Setting the Blue Switch on the Platen .") →P.872 Borderless Printing Method Choose the method of borderless printing that suits the original, as desired.

Print Image with Actual Size Prints originals at actual size, without enlarging or reducing them. Originals must be prepared in a size that exceeds the dimensions of the paper by 3 mm (0.12 in) on each side. Note • Not all page sizes are available. • Even if you prepare originals of the same size as the paper size, the originals are automatically enlarged when you print borderlessly in combination with resizing originals to match the paper size. This may affect image quality. When image quality is most important, make the original 3 mm longer on each side than the paper size so that the image can be printed at actual size in borderless printing. For instructions on borderless printing of photos and images at actual size, refer to the following topics, as appropriate for your computer and operating system. •Borderless Printing at Actual Size (Windows) →P.92 • Borderless Printing at Actual Size (Mac OS X) →P.95 Borderless Printing at Actual Size (Windows) This topic describes how to print borderlessly at actual size based on the following example. •Document: Any type • Page size: 10×12 inches (254.0×304.8 mm) • Paper: Roll • Paper type: Heavyweight Coated Paper • Roll paper width: 10 inches (254.0 mm) 1. Create the original in the source application 3 mm (0.12 in) larger on each side than 254.0×304.8 mm (10 × 12 in) —that is, 260.0×310.8 mm (10.2 × 12.2 in) Note • If you can specify the margin, as in Microsoft Word, set the margin at 0 mm. For instructions on specifying the margin, refer to the software documentation. • The extra 3 mm (0.12 in) on each side will not be printed. Create the original so that it fits inside the paper area to be printed on. 2. Choose Print in the application menu.
