Note:
  • If your application has margin settings, make sure they are set to zero before printing.

  • Ink may spray on the printer’s platen. If this happens, wipe the ink away using a cloth.

  • Printing with this feature takes longer than normal printing.

  • Smearing may occur at the top and bottom edges of the printout depending on the media.

  • Borderless printing is not available when Manual-Front is selected as the Paper Source setting.

  • Borderless printing is not available when the PAPER SIZE CHECK setting is turned off. Make sure that the PAPER SIZE CHECK setting is turned ON in the printer menu.

Follow these steps to select borderless print settings:

Click the Borderless checkbox.

Click the Expansion button. You see a window like this one.

Choose Auto Expand or Retain Size, and the amount of enlargement.

    Auto Expand

    Select this setting if you want to enlarge the size of print data automatically and print without margins. You can choose the amount of enlargement by moving the slider.

    Note:
    Enlarged areas that exceed the paper size will not be printed on the paper.

    Retain Size

    Select this setting if you do not want to change the ratio of your print data.

    When you select this setting, you need to enlarge your image data to exceed the paper width and height, to avoid unprinted areas appearing along all four edges. Enlarge your images by 0.20 in. (5 mm) in all four directions in your application.

    Amount of Enlargement

    When you select Auto Expand, the slider becomes available, so you can control the amount of the image that extends beyond the edges of the paper during borderless printing.

    For most print jobs, Max is recommended in order to eliminate margins on all sides of the paper.

    Moving the slider towards Min decreases the amount of the image enlargement; however, as this amount decreases, a white border may appear on one or more sides of the print.

Click OK.

Start printing your image from your application.
