Canon imagePROGRAF GP-300 - Manual (Page 433)

Important
• If you want to print borderless using a custom paper size, create a custom paper size by choosing
Paper Size , Manage Custom Sizes... , and setting all Non-Printable Area values to 0 mm. Next,
choose Page Processing , Fit Roll Paper Width and select On (Borderless) .
• If you try to set borderless printing, in Page Processing , Banner Printing and Print Centered will be
displayed in gray and you will not be able to configure them.
• Depending on paper size, the length/width ratio of the paper may be different from that of the image,
making it impossible for the whole image to fit on the paper.
When this happens, crop the image with the application software to match paper size.
• When printing borderless, printing may stop abruptly and the paper will be cut causing a slight color
unevenness on the edges of the paper. If you require particularly high quality, go to Automatic Cutting
under Advanced Paper Settings , and select None . When you do so, the document will be printed
without the left and right margins. After the printed material has exited the printer and has been cut, cut
the upper and lower edges with a pair of scissors.
• When printing borderless on paper with low ink-fixing properties, depending on frequency of use, the
cutter unit may come into contact with the paper surface scratching it and causing the paper to be
unevenly cut.
You may be able to improve the situation by choosing
Advanced Paper Settings and set Dry Time
(Between Pages) to a higher value.
• The following roll paper supports borderless printing.
Paper Sizes
• If margins are formed on the left and right of the document, adjust the amount extending off paper
during borderless printing from operation panel of the printer.
See "
Borders appear in borderless printing " for details on how to set the amount extending off paper.
Note
• When using applications that allow you to set margins, set margins to 0 mm.
