Printing on Oversized Paper
Except in borderless printing, the actual printing area corresponds to your selected paper size minus the space for
a margin. ( → P .76) T o print documents or images you prepare without a margin at actual size, use an oversized
paper size.
For example, to print a A4-sized original without a margin at A4 size, print it on paper larger than A4 size and
cut away the excess margin.
Note
• If you prepare an original for printing without a margin and print it on paper of regular size, the image
near the edge will not be printed.
Oversize
The margin required by the printer is added around the “outside” of a regular paper size. For example, when
printing a A4-sized original (210×297 mm), you have the following options.
• (a) Regular paper size: Gray area not printed
• (b) Page Size
• (c) Oversized paper size: Print area matches the page size (b)
Important
• When printing on oversize paper , load paper larger than the page size-a size that includes the margin
required by the printer .
• Sheets: Load paper that is at least 6 mm (0.24 in) wider and 26 mm (1 in) higher than the page size
• Rolls: Load paper that is at least 6 mm (0.24 in) wider and 6 mm (0.24 in) higher than the page size
Note
• Paper larger than the maximum size supported by the printer cannot be used as paper for oversized
printing. ( → P .101)
• Oversized printing (selecting Oversize in Page Size ) is only available in Windows. For oversized
printing on sheets, choose Manual as Paper Source .
• T o perform oversized printing on a Macintosh computer , you must specify a non-standard page size and
print on it.
• T o specify a non-standard paper size in oversized printing, register the paper size as a Custom Paper
Size . Oversized printing is not available with “Custom Size” . ( → P .261)
