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. • 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. (See " Paper Reference Guide .") • Although it normally prints borderless on the top, bottom, left, and right (4-edge borderless), in the following cases, it becomes borderless only on the left and right (2-edge borderless) because the top and bottom of the printed image are not automatically cut. • When paper where the borderless printing is described as two edges only in the Paper Reference Guide (pa- per where printed image areas cannot be cut cleanly) is selected • When the following settings are made in the printer control panel • Cutting Mode is Manual • CutDustReduct. is On • When auto cut is configured as not performed in the printer driver Important•When printing without borders, be certain to set the blue switch on the platen to the ● side. If the switch is set incorrectly,print quality may deteriorate. (See "Setting the Blue Switch on the Platen.")→P.896•Borderless printing is not possible if details such as crop marks and margins are included as data on the periphery of theoriginal.•If the length of the image to print is short, then since the roll paper is fed out to a prescribed length before cutting in order toprevent cutting problems and ejection problems, the trailing edge of the roll paper might not be printed borderless.•If you use an A1 orA2 roll for borderless printing, insert the provided Spacer for Borderless Printing onthe Roll Holder. (See"Loading Rolls on the Roll Holder.")→P.531If you do not attach the Spacer for Borderless Printing,the Platen maybe soiled from borderless printing.•These features cannot be used in combination with borderless printing: special page layouts, centering originals, and printingcut lines on rolls.•If Fit Paper Size or Print Image with Actual Size (Windows only) is selected while performing borderless printing, RotatePage 90 degrees (Conserve Paper) cannot be selected. Note that if borderless printing is possible, then even if the originalis rotated 90 degrees, it will be printed by automatically rotating the page by 90 degrees. Choose the method of borderless printing that suits the original, as desired. Borderless Printing on Paper of Equivalent Size iPF6400 User's Guide Enhanced Printing Options Borderless Printing 96
