Borderless Printing
You can print your data without margins on the paper.
The types of borderless printing you can choose vary as shown below depending on the
media type.
Roll Paper: No margins for all edges, no margins for the left and right
Cut Sheets: No margins for the left and right only
(Borderless printing is not available with poster board.)
When printing borderless for all edges you can also configure the cutting operation. See
“About Roll Paper Cutting” on page 108.
When performing left and right borderless printing, margins appear on the top and bottom
of the paper.
For top and bottom margin values, see “Printable Area” on page 81.

Types of Borderless Printing Methods

You can perform borderless printing using the following two methods:
OAuto Expand
The printer driver enlarges the print data to a size slightly larger than the paper size and
prints the enlarged image. The sections which are beyond the paper edges are not
printed; therefore, resulting in borderless printing.
Use settings such as Page Layout in the applications to set the size of the image data
as follows.
- Match the paper size and page setting for the print data.
- If the application has margin settings, set the margins to 0 mm.
- Make the image data as large as the paper size.
