Except in borderless printing, the actual printing area corresponds to your selected paper size minus the space for a margin
(See "Print Area →P.768
"). 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

Oversized  printing  is  not  available  with  Custom  Size.(See  "Printing  on  Non-Standard  Paper

							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 at Actual Size 3

							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.
