●Using a Mac OS 9 or 10.1 printer driver: create a custom paper size with zero margins, and take into account that the margins added to the final job will be the ones that are set in the printer's front panel.
●Using a newer Mac OS printer driver: select the printer in the Format for popup menu, select the paper size, and then margins options will appear. You can select the oversize page and the margins at the same time.
●Using the Embedded Web Server: on the Submit Job page, select Oversize from the Margin layout list.
●Using the front panel: select Default printing options > Paper options > Select layout > Oversize.
When using oversize pages, you can select the width of the margins as usual (see Adjust the margins).

Print without added margins
For technical reasons, it is impossible to print an image that covers the full width or length of the paper. There must always be a margin around the image. However, if your image already contains adequate margins (white space around the edges) then you can tell the printer not to add margins to the image when printing it. In this case it will, in fact, clip the edges of your image, assuming that the edges contain nothing that needs to be printed.
You can request no added margins in the following ways:
●Using the Windows
●Using the Embedded Web Server: on the Submit Job page, select Clip Contents By Margins from the Margin layout list.
●Using the front panel: select Default printing options > Paper options > Select layout > Clip contents by margins.
This option is not available from the Windows PostScript driver or the Mac OS drivers.
When using this option, you can select the width of the margins as usual (see Adjust the margins). The printer continues to use margins: it just takes them out of the image instead of adding them to the image.
Select the orientation of the image
The orientation of the image may be portrait or landscape. When you see it on screen:
●The height of a portrait image is greater than its width (a tall image).
