Solution

Learn how to print borderless with the PIXMA TR150 from a Mac computer.

Before you begin

  • Print data is enlarged so that it extends slightly off the paper when you use the borderless function.

  • Unlike standard prints that have margins around the document area, margins are not created in borderless prints.

  • Use the borderless function for photos to avoid a print with margins around it.

  3. Select Print. The data is printed without any margins on the paper.

 

Information about Amount of extension adjustments

  • Setting a large amount of extension allows you to perform borderless prints with no problems.

  • The portion of the document that extends off the paper won't be printed and the subjects around the perimeter of a photo may not appear on print.

  • If you're not satisfied with the result of the borderless print, reduce the Amount of extension.

  • When the amount of extension is decreased, an unexpected margin may appear on the print based on the size of the paper.

  • When the Amount of Extension slider is set to Amount: Minimum , image data will be printed in the full size. For example: If you print the address side of a postcard, the postal code of the sender is printed in the correct position.

  • When Extended amount: Large is set, the back side of the paper may become smudged.
     

Good to know

  • The borderless feature only supports specific paper sizes. Make sure to select a paper size with the word Borderless from Paper Size.

  • Print quality may deteriorate or the sheet may be stained at the top and bottom based on the type of paper used.

  • When the ratio of the height to the width differs from the image data, a portion of the image may not be printed based on the size of the media used. Crop the image data with an application software based on the paper size.

  • When scaled prints or page layout prints is enabled, you can't perform borderless prints.

  • The use of the borderless feature is not recommended if Plain Paper is selected for Media Type in Media & Quality.
