Create borderless prints

You can set the printer to print borderless photos.

Add the date and time to your prints

You can print a stamp on the front of your photos that shows when the photo was taken. This preference affects all prints.

Change the print quality

You can change the print quality for photos. Best quality is the default and produces the highest quality photos. Normal quality conserves ink and prints faster.

Make sure to use photo paper. If you use plain paper, the printer will override the borderless setting and print with narrow white borders on all sides to prevent paper jams.
