Description

To print documents or images you prepare without a margin at actual size, use an oversized paper size.

Solution

Except in borderless printing, the actual printing area corresponds to your selected paper size minus the space for a margin. To 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.
To 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.
