Creating the effect of a full-bleed image
The MFP cannot print to the edge of print media. Use the following procedure to print the
image to a larger-size page, and then trim the page to create the effect of a full-bleed
image.
To create the effect of a full-bleed image
1 Use a paper size at least 25 mm (1.0 inch) wider and longer than the image you want
to print. For example, if you want to print a full-bleed image that is 215 mm (8.5 inches)
wide and 279 mm (11 inches) long, use a paper size that is at least 240 mm
(9.5 inches) wide and 304 mm (12 inches) long.
Note The MFP can print on specially cut paper that is up to 306 mm x 470 mm (12.3 inches x
18.5 inches) in size.
From tray 1, the MFP can print images up to 297 mm x 450 mm (11.7 inches x 17.7 inches)
in size.
2 Print the image with crop marks. See your software program online help to determine
how to do this. The option to print an image with crop marks is often found in the Print
dialog box.
Note Because the MFP prints images no larger than 297 mm x 450 mm (11.7 inches x
17.7 inches) in size, the image should be 284 mm x 437 mm (11.2 inches x 17.2 inches)
or smaller in order for crop marks to appear.
3 Use the crop marks as a guide and cut the paper to the size of the image.
Printing watermarks
A watermark is a marking, such as “Top Secret,” “Draft,” or someone’s name, that is
printed in the background of selected pages in a document.
To print a watermark in Windows (all versions)
1 Open the printer driver. (See “Changing the settings for a print job using a computer”
on page 94.)
2 On the Effects tab, select a watermark from the Watermarks list. To edit or create a
watermark, click Edit, and then click OK.
Note The preceding procedures change the MFP’s settings for a print job.
To print a watermark for Macintosh
For Mac OS 9.2 and earlier, select Overlay 1 or Overlay 2 from the Watermarks list.
Specify the text that you want, depending on your printer-driver version. To use this
feature on later versions of Mac OS, visit www.hp.com/clj9500mfp
for the latest
information about the watermark feature support.
Note Watermarks are not available for Mac OS X.
