      When the photo paper is selected for the media type, the original is copied without borders and fills the entire page.
    2. In borderless copying, slight cropping may occur at the edges since the copied image is enlarged to fill the whole page.

    The Fit to Page lamp lights up and the Fit-to-Page copy function is enabled. The original is copied in the size automatically enlarged or reduced to fit the selected page size.
