Print Area
Print Area
A margin required by the printer is added with respect to the size of paper loaded in the printer. Except in borderless
printing, the actual printing area corresponds to the paper size minus the space for this margin.
Note
• Printable Area: The area that can be printed.
• There is no margin (that is, a margin of 0 mm) during borderless printing on rolls.
• Recommended Print Area: We recommend printing within this area.
• To print so that your original matches the print area exactly, use an oversized paper size that includes the required
margin. (See "Printing on Oversize Paper.") ➔ P.76
