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.596
• Borderless printing is not possible if details such as crop marks and margins are included as data on the periph-
ery of the original.
• 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 to prevent cutting problems and ejection problems, the trailing edge of the roll paper might not be printed
borderless.
• These features cannot be used in combination with borderless printing: special page layouts, centering originals,
and printing cut lines on rolls.
• If Fit Paper Size or Print Image with Actual Size (Windows only) is selected while performing borderless print-
ing, Rotate Page 90 degrees (Conserve Paper) cannot be selected. Note that if borderless printing is possible,
then even if the original is 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.

Scale to fit Roll Paper Width
Enlarge or reduce the original as a whole to match the roll paper width.
Note
• You can combine this function with rotating pages 90 degrees before printing so that the original width (rela-
tive to portrait orientation) matches the roll paper width in borderless printing.
For instructions on borderless printing of photos, images, and other documents to match the roll paper width,
refer to the following topics, as appropriate for your computer and operating system.

This topic describes how to enlarge originals before borderless printing to match the roll width, based on the follow-
ing example.
Important
• When borderless printing is used, the edge of the paper is cut during printing. Thus, ink density may be uneven at
the edges. If you require higher image quality, select No from the Automatic Cutting list in the Roll Paper Op-
tions dialog box. In this case, the paper can be printed without borders on the left and right sides only. Once
printed and cut, please cut the upper and lower bands with scissors.
