Printing Photos and Illustrations without
Borders (Borderless Printing)
Normally a printed document has white space around its
edges (margins), but a borderless print for a photograph or
created image has no white space at its borders; its entire
surface is covered by printing.

that can be used for borderless printing is loaded. Only
media fed from the roll can be used for borderless print-
ing on this printer.
Here is a list of the types of roll media and their widths
that can be used for borderless printing.

Basic Procedure for Borderless Printing
This section introduces the basic procedure for borderless
printing by using media of the same size as the original.
1
Create the original in the software application
so it matches the size of the media used for
printing.
Important
zThe following page size settings can be used for
borderless printing. Refer to the table below when you
create the original image and set the page for a size
that can be used for borderless printing.
zIf the media size was pre-selected in the software
application, the selected size must support
Borderless Printing.
zThere are limitations on the selection of page sizes
that can be used with the Borderless Printing
Method. If any page size other than those listed above
is selected, the Borderless Printing Method feature
is automatically set for Scale to fit Roll Width.
zFor more details about Scale to fit Roll Width and
Print Image with Actual Size, please refer to “More
