Print quality may decline in the top and bottom areas of the printout, or the area may be smeared when printing on papers other than those listed above. Print a single sheet to check the quality before printing large jobs.
Borderless printing is not available when Manual - Front is selected as the paper source setting.

Application settings for borderless printing
There are two types of borderless printing available with this printer, Auto Expand and Retain Size.
For Auto Expand
Enlarge the size of print data automatically and print without margins. Enlarged areas that exceed the paper size will not be printed on the paper. If your application has margin settings, set the margin to 0 mm.
For Retain Size
Using an application, enlarge your image data to exceed the paper width and height, to avoid unprinted areas appearing along the all four edges. The printer driver does not enlarge the image data. Select this setting if you do not want to change the ratio of your print data by the printer driver.
Enlarge the following lengths in each of the four directions, using the application that created the data.
