HP 72SR manual Edge-to-Edge Printing

Edge-to-Edge Printing On rigid media, the printer can print up to the leading, right, and left edges when you set the margins to 0.

◆Tape the platen under the left and right edges of the media to catch any oversprayed ink. Use a colored tape to allow the printer to find the media edges. A piece of media printed with a solid color also works for this purpose.

◆Use the head height gauge to set the printheads to the stan- dard height over the media. This will minimize ink overspray.

◆From Menu > Printer Settings > Margin Settings > Right and Left Margin, Leading Margin, set the margins to 0. Optionally, you can set an Overprint distance to print past the edge.

◆If you set the Trailing Margin to 0 and want to print to the trailing edge, you must attach a trailer of the same media to the trailing edge so the pinch rollers can feed the media all the way past the print zone.

◆From Menu > Printer Settings > Print Position, center the image on the media.

◆Enlarge the image slightly from the application or RIP if nec- essary to avoid an unprinted border.
