Fit Paper Size
Enlarge or reduce the original to match the size of the paper you are using.

Note

The printer driver automatically enlarges originals 3 mm (0.12 in) past the dimensions of the paper on each side. The 3
mm portion beyond the edge on each side is not printed.

For instructions on borderless printing of photos, images, and other documents to match the paper size, refer to
the following topics, as appropriate for your computer and operating system.

Borderless Printing by Resizing Originals to Match the Paper Size (Windows)

This topic describes how to enlarge originals before borderless printing to match the paper size, based on the following
example.
If you use an A1 or A2 roll for borderless printing, insert the provided Spacer for Borderless Printing on the Roll Holder.
(See "Loading Rolls on the Roll Holder.")

→P.533

If you do not attach the Spacer for Borderless Printing, the Platen may be soiled from borderless printing.

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 Options 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.
