Making Margin Settings for Rolls

Make settings related to margins when printing on roll paper. Setting a large margin may improve the image quality of the printed document.

Important

  • In the printer driver, you can set the margins from Roll Paper Safety Margin in the Paper Detailed Settings dialog box on the Main sheet. If you set from the printer driver, the setting from the printer driver takes priority.

Set the Margin Area of the Roll Paper

When printing on roll paper, set the size of margins to add to the top and bottom of the print data.

  • Prioritize image size

    This setting adds margins to the outside of the print data. Larger margins make the printout longer in the vertical direction and use more paper.

  • Prioritize paper size

    This setting adds margins to the inside of the print data. Larger margins may cause part of the print data not to be printed.

Important

  • When using Prioritize paper size, Roll paper lead edge/end margin may result in part of the image being lost. Prepare your print data to match the printable area.
