Printing with Minimal Margins to Match Paper Size

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

1. In the printer driver, open the settings screen

2. Select the paper source

   From the Paper Source list on the Page Setup tab, select Roll Paper.

3. Select paper roll width

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

4. Select minimal margin printing

   Place a checkmark next to the Minimal Margin Printing option.

   

   After the Information dialog is displayed, under Roll Paper Width, select the same paper width as that of the paper roll loaded in the printer and click OK.

5. Select a method for printing with minimal margins

   Select Fit Paper Size in Minimal Margin Printing Method.
   If the size of the document is different from the size of the paper you want to print on, select the paper size you want to print on from Printer Paper Size.

6. Complete the setting process

   Click OK.
   If you print now, the document will be printed with minimal margins to fit the paper size.

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 clicking Specify... on the Main tab and, in the Paper Detailed Settings dialog box, under Drying Time, set 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 feel the left and right margins are different sizes, 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 like Microsoft Word which allow you to set margins, set margins to 0 mm.
