Adjust the Amount of Extension

- Moving the slider to the left will reduce the extension amount.
- The image is printed full size when the extension slider is fully to the left.
- You can see whether a margin is left on the paper by clicking 'Preview' and looking at the results on in the preview dialog box.
- When printing photographs, and when the extension slider is fully to the left, a white border might appear on some types of paper. Move the slider to the right to rectify this.

Borderless Printing Reference
In borderless printing, an image will be slightly enlarged. Thus, the edges of the image will not be printed since they are extended off the paper.

(The tinted part will not be printed.)
The amount of an image extended off the paper (see the "A" in the diagram below) is called the amount of extension, which can be adjusted using the slide bar.
By dragging the slide bar to the left, you can reduce the amount of extension; however, if you reduce it too much, you may see "borders" on the result.
On the other hand, by dragging the slide bar to the right, you can enlarge the amount of extension.
A test print is recommended.
