Printing Area

To maintain print quality, the printer leaves a margin around the edges of paper. The printable area is inside this margin.

Recommended printing area : Canon recommends that you print within this area.

Printable area : The area where it is possible to print.

Note

  • By selecting Borderless Printing option, you can make prints with no margins.

  • When performing Borderless Printing, slight cropping may occur at the edges since the printed image is enlarged to fill the whole page.

  • To specify the amount of image that extends off the paper, select Extension for borderless printing in Advanced paper settings.

  • For Borderless Printing, use the following paper:

    • Photo Paper Pro Platinum <PT-101>

    • Photo Paper Plus Glossy II <PP-201/PP-208/PP-301>

    • Photo Paper Pro Luster <LU-101>

    *1 Borderless Printing is disabled depending on print settings. To enable Borderless Printing, remove margin restrictions.

    Performing Borderless Printing on any other type of paper may substantially reduce printing quality and/or result in printouts with altered color hues.

  • Borderless Printing is not available for 9"x13"(23x33cm) size paper or plain paper.

  • Depending on the type of paper, Borderless Printing may reduce the print quality at the top and bottom edges of the paper or cause these parts to become smudged.
