| Solution |
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.

| Printable Area | Recommended Print Area |
|
| Top Edge | Bottom Edge | Sides | Top Edge | Bottom Edge | Sides |
| Sheets | Top Paper Feed Slot | 3 mm (0.12 in) | 3 or 23 mm (0.12 or 0.91 in) | 3 mm (0.12 in) | 20 mm (0.79 in) | 23 mm (0.91 in) | 5 mm (0.20 in) |
| Front Paper Feed Slot | 3 mm (0.12 in) | 23 mm (0.91 in) | 3 mm (0.12 in) |
| Rolls | 0 or 3 mm (0 or 0.12 in) | 0 or 3 mm (0 or 0.12 in) | 0 or 3 mm (0 or 0.12 in) | 20 mm (0.79 in) | 5 mm (0.20 in) | 5 mm (0.20 in) |

Printing from the Top Paper Feed Slot requires a margin of 3 mm (0.12 in) on top, 3 mm (0.12 in) or 23 mm (0.91 in) on bottom, and 3 mm (0.12 in) on the left and right sides. Some types of paper require a bottom margin of 23 mm (0.91 in). For more information, see the Paper Reference Guide. (See "Types of Paper.")
Printing from the Front Paper Feed Slot requires a margin of 3 mm (0.12 in) on top, 23 mm (0.91 in) on bottom, and 3 mm (0.12 in) on the left and right sides.
A margin of 20 mm (0.79 in) on top, 23 mm (0.91 in) on bottom, and 5 mm (0.20 in) on left and right sides is required.
IMPORTANT
- Choosing a bottom margin of 3 mm (0.12 in) may distort images by the bottom edge.
In this case, select Paper Source > Manual and specify a bottom margin of 23 mm (0.91 in).
NOTE
- Printable area: The area that can be printed.
- Guaranteed 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 (iPF6400) (iPF6450).")
- When printing from the Top Paper Feed Slot, you can choose a bottom margin of either 3 mm (0.12 in) or 23 mm (0.91 in).
Specifying Paper Source > Manual in the printer driver leaves a bottom margin of 23 mm (0.91 in). On the other hand, choosing Manual (3mm margins) in Paper Source sets the bottom margin at 3 mm (0.12 in), which provides a larger area for printing.
However, Manual (3mm margins) is not available with the following paper.
- Fine Art Photo
- Fine Art Heavyweight Photo
- Fine Art Textured
- Types of paper are subject to change.
For details on types of paper, see the Paper Reference Guide.
Rolls
A margin of 3 mm (0.12 in) on all sides is required. During borderless printing, the margin on all sides is 0 mm. For information on paper compatible with borderless printing, see the Paper Reference Guide.
A margin of 20 mm (0.79 in) on top, 5 mm (0.20 in) on bottom, and 5 mm (0.20 in) on left and right sides is required.
NOTE

- 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 (iPF6400) (iPF6450).")
