Problems with borderless documents

Borderless printing guidelines

When printing borderless photos or brochures, follow these guidelines:

●Verify that the paper size that is specified in the Paper Size drop-down list on the Printing Shortcuts tab matches the size of the paper that is loaded in the In tray.

●Select the appropriate paper type in the Paper Type drop-down list on the Printing Shortcuts tab.

●If printing in grayscale, select Print in high quality grayscale on the Color Option drop-down list on the Printing Shortcuts tab.

●Do not print borderless documents in ink-backup mode. Always have two print cartridges installed in the printer when printing borderless documents.

If streaks appear in a light portion of a photo, approximately 63 mm (2.5 inches) from one of the long edges of the photo, try the following solutions:

●Install a photo print cartridge in the printer.

●Rotate the image 180°.

●Open the Printer Properties dialog box, click the Paper/Quality tab, and then set the Print Quality to Maximum dpi.
