Canon MP550 manual Adjust the amount of extension from the paper

Check the Page Size list. When you want to change, select another page size from the list. The list displays only sizes that can be used for borderless printing.

4.Adjust the amount of extension from the paper

If necessary, adjust the amount of extension using the Amount of Extension slider.

Moving the slider to the right makes the amount larger and moving the slider to the left makes the

amount smaller.

It is recommended to set the slider at the second position from the right for most cases.

Important

When you set the slider at the rightmost position, the back side of the paper may become

smudged.

5.Complete the setup

Click OK.

The data will be printed without any margins on the paper.

Important

When a page size that cannot be used for borderless printing is selected, the size is automatically changed to the valid page sizes for borderless printing.

When High Resolution Paper, T-Shirt Transfers, or Envelope is selected from the Media Type list on the Main tab, you cannot perform borderless printing.

When Borderless is selected, the Printer Paper Size, Staple Side (when Duplex Printing is not selected) settings, and the Stamp/Background... button on the Page Setup tab appear grayed out and are unavailable.

Print quality may deteriorate or the sheet may be stained at the top and bottom depending on the type of the media used.

When the ratio of the height to the width differs from the image data, a portion of the image may not be printed depending on the size of the media used.

In this case, crop the image data with an application software according to the paper size.

Note

When Plain Paper is selected for Media Type on the Main tab, borderless printing is not recommended, and therefore the dialog box for media selection appears.

When you are using plain paper for test printing, select Plain Paper, and click OK.

Expanding the Range of the Document to Print

Specifying a large amount of extension allows you to perform borderless printing with no problems. However, the portion of the document that extends off the paper range will not be printed. Subjects around the perimeter of a photo may not be printed.

Try borderless printing once. When you are not satisfied with the result of borderless printing, reduce the amount of extension. The extension amount becomes shorter as the Amount of Extension slider is moved to the left.

Important

When the amount of extension is shortened, an unexpected margin may be produced on the print, depending on the size of the paper.

Note

When the Amount of Extension slider is set to the leftmost position, image data will be printed in the full size.

When Preview before printing is checked on the Main tab, you can confirm before printing whether there will be no border.
