Printing on Oversized Paper

Except in borderless printing, the actual printing area corresponds to your selected paper size minus the space for a margin. (→P.89) To print documents or images you prepare without a margin at actual size, use an oversized paper size.

For example, to print a A4-sized original without a margin at A4 size, print it on paper larger than A4 size and cut away the excess margin.

Note

If you prepare an original for printing without a margin and print it on paper of regular size, the image near the edge will not be printed.

Oversize

The margin required by the printer is added around the “outside” of a regular paper size. For example, when printing a A4-sized original (210×297 mm), you have the following options.

a. Regular paper size: Gray area not printed b. Page Size

c. Oversized paper size: Print area matches the page size (b)

Important

When printing on oversize paper, load paper larger than the page size-a size that includes the margin required by the printer.

Sheets: Load paper that is at least 6 mm (0.24 in) wider and 26 mm (1 in) higher than the page size

Rolls: Load paper that is at least 6 mm (0.24 in) wider and 6 mm (0.24 in) higher than the page size

Paper larger than the maximum size supported by the printer cannot be used as paper for oversized printing. (→P.113)
