" Borderless Printing by Resizing Originals to Fit the Roll Width
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

							Scale to fit Roll Paper Width
Enlarge or reduce the original as a whole to match the roll paper width. Note

tive to portrait orientation) matches the roll paper width in borderless printing.

following topics, as appropriate for your computer and operating system. •Borderless Printing by Resizing Originals to Fit the Roll Width (Windows) →P.108
