Printing borderless

Borderless printing lets you print to the edges of certain paper types and a range of standard paper sizes from A6 (105 by 148 mm) to A3 (297 by 420 mm). The printer can also print on 4-by-6 inch photo paper.

If you are printing photos, you can enhance them by printing in six-ink color printing mode. See “Printing with six-ink color”.

Open the file in a software application and assign the image size. Make sure the size corresponds to the paper size on which you are printing the image.

For Windows

1Load the appropriate paper:

If you are printing one or just a few sheets, you can use the front or rear manual feed slot. If so, continue with the steps below and load the paper in a later step.

If you are using the input tray, see “Loading media in the input tray”.

2Open the file you wish to print.

3Open the printer driver (see “Printing a document”).

4Click the Paper/Quality tab.

5Select the paper size from the Size is drop-down list.

6Select the Borderless Printing check box.

7Select the paper source from the Source is drop-down list. If you are printing on thick or photo paper, select the manual feed option.

8Select the paper type from the Type is drop-down list. Do not select Automatic.

9Select the Borderless Auto Fit check box to automatically resize the image to print without a border.

10If you are printing photos, select Best from the Print Quality drop-down list. Alternatively, select Maximum dpi, which provides up to 4800 x 1200 optimized dpi* for optimum print quality.

*Up to 4800 x 1200 optimized dpi for color printing and 1200 input dpi. This setting will temporarily use a large amount of hard disk space (400 MB or more) and will print slower. Photo cartridge, if present, further enhances the print quality.

11Change any other desired print settings and click OK.

12Print your document.

13If you are using the front or rear manual feed slot, see “Printing with the front or rear manual feed slot”.

14If you printed on photo paper with a tear-off tab, remove the tab to make the document completely borderless.
