Borderless Printing at Actual Size (Windows)
This topic describes how to print borderlessly at actual size based on the following example.
Important
• When borderless printing is used, the edge of the paper is cut during printing. Thus, ink density may be uneven at the edges.
If you require higher image quality, select No from the Automatic Cutting list in the Roll Paper Options dialog box. In this
case, the paper can be printed without borders on the left and right sides only. Once printed and cut, please cut the upper
and lower bands with scissors.
• Document: Any type
• Page size: 10×12 inches (254.0×304.8 mm)
• Paper: Roll
• Paper type: Canon Heavyweight Coated Paper
• Roll paper width: 10 inches (254.0 mm)
1 Create the original in the source application 3 mm (0.12 in) larger on each side than 254.0×304.8 mm (10 × 12
in) —that is, 260.0×310.8 mm (10.2 × 12.2 in)
Note
• If you can specify the margin, as in Microsoft Word, set the margin at 0 mm. For instructions on specifying the mar-
gin, refer to the software documentation.
• The extra 3 mm (0.12 in) on each side will not be printed. Create the original so that it fits inside the paper area to be
printed on.
2 Choose Print in the application menu.
