When borderless printing is used,
the edge of the paper is cut during
printing. Thus, ink density may be
slightly uneven at the leading edges.
Specify No in Auto Cut in the printer driver before printing. In this case, the paper can be
printed without borders on the left and right sides only. Cut the printed document ejected
from the printer, and then use scissors or a cutting tool to cut away the edges on the top and
bottom.
Choose a higher level of Print Quality in the Advanced Settings of the printer driver.
