Print with Three-sided Minimal Margins on Roll Paper

You can print with minimal margins aligned to three sides if the paper sizes don't match the roll paper width.
However, you need to cut the right side of the paper after printing.

Printing to Match Paper Size

The procedure for minimal margin printing aligned to three sides by enlarging or reducing documents to match paper size is described below.

  1. Select the paper size for whole-surface minimal margin printing

    Select "XXX Borderless" from Paper Size in the print dialog.

  2. Select Paper Handling

  3. Turn on Scale to Fit Paper Size

  4. Select paper size

    Select "XXX Borderless" in Destination Paper Size.

  5. Select Page Processing from Printer Options

  6. Select roll paper width

    For paper roll width, enter the same value set in the printer under Roll Paper Width.

  7. Place a checkmark next to Three-sided Borderless

  8. Complete setting process

    Click Print. A dialog box will appear.
    If you click OK, the document will be printed to fit the paper size.

  9. Cut the right side of the paper

    Cut the margin on the right side of the paper with scissors after printing.
    Cut slightly to the inside of the margin as the document is enlarged to extend slightly beyond the specified size.
    To get the document to standard size, it is recommended to take measurements and cut in the correct positions.

Printing Full-Size

The procedure for printing aligned to three sides in the same size as the original document without enlarging or reducing the size is described below.

  1. Select the paper size for whole-surface minimal margin printing

    Select "XXX Borderless" from Paper Size in the print dialog.

  2. Select Page Processing from Printer Options

  3. Select roll paper width

  5. Select a method for printing on roll paper

    For Fit Roll Paper Width, select Off.

  6. Complete setting process

    Click Print. A dialog box will appear.
    If you click OK, the document will be printed aligned to three sides while retaining the same document size.

  7. Cut the right side of the paper

    Cut the margin on the right side of the paper with scissors after printing.
    To get the document to standard size, it is recommended to take measurements and cut in the correct positions.

Important

  • Depending on paper size, the length/width ratio of the paper may be different from that of the image, making it impossible for the whole image to fit on the paper.
    When this happens, crop the image with the application software to match paper size.
  • When printing with minimal margins on paper with low ink-fixing properties, depending on frequency of use, the cutter unit may come into contact with the paper surface scratching it and causing the paper to be unevenly cut.
    You may be able to improve the situation by choosing Advanced Paper Settings and set Dry Time (Between Pages) to a higher value.
  • If you select a paper type that doesn't support minimal margin printing, you won't be able to print with minimal margins. To see which paper types support minimal margin printing, refer to "Paper Settings List (Roll Paper)."
  • If you want to change the margin on the left side of the document,adjust the margin amount from Roll paper minimal margin amount on the printer. Then, perform printing.
    For instructions on how to adjust Roll paper minimal margin amount, refer to "Setting the Minimal Margin Amount When Performing the Minimal Margin Printing."
  • When using Minimal Margin Printing, the print settings are automatically changed to the optimized ones.This may result in having the same print result despite the change in the print settings.

Note

  • When using applications that allow you to set margins, set margins to 0 mm.
