Making Settings on the Paper Menu

Paper Source

Select the paper source that you want to use from the selections below.

Sheet Feeder:
Select this to leave a 3-mm margin on both the right and the left sides of the paper. This option is available when printing on normal paper.

Roll Paper:
Select this to leave a 3-mm margin on both the right and the left sides of the roll paper.

No Margins

Check this box when you want to print with no margins.

Sheet Feeder:
Select this to leave no margins on all four sides of the paper. This option is available only when printing with paper that is in the Paper size list.

Roll Paper:
Select this to leave no margins on all four sides of the roll paper. This option is available only when printing with paper that is on the Paper size list.

You can use the following media with this feature.

Photo Paper:
Panoramic, A4, 4 x 6" (No Perforations), 100 x 150 mm

Matte Paper-Heavyweight:
A4

Index Card:
5 x 8"

Note:
If your application has margin settings, make sure they are set to zero before printing.

When using this feature with Roll Paper, you need to use your image-editing software to make the image 4 mm wider than the roll paper.

Printing with this feature selected takes longer than for normal printing.

Because this feature enlarges the image to a size slightly larger than the paper size when Sheet Feeder is selected as the Paper Source setting, the portion of the image that extends beyond the edges of the paper will not be printed.

Print quality may decline in the top and bottom areas of the printout, or the area may be smeared when printing on media other than listed above. We recommend printing a single sheet to check quality before printing large jobs.

You cannot use this feature with the following media: Photo Quality Glossy Film, Ink Jet Transparencies, Iron-On Cool Peel Transfer Paper, 360 dpi Ink Jet Paper.

Auto Cut

You can select the types of cutting.

Not Cut:
No cutting with the cutter is done.

Single Cut:
The paper is cut at the boundary between images (the boundary between pages). However, the cutting position may shift slightly.

Double Cut:
If you have selected Single Cut and are unhappy with the gap of the cutting position, select Double Cut. In this mode, the space between images is extended and the paper is cut twice inside this space. By cutting twice, an 18 mm slip of paper is left. Double Cut is selectable only when printing with No Margins is selected.

Note:
Adjust the cutting position before you use the Auto Cutter. Refer to the Cutting position adjustment with Automatic Roll Paper Cutter for more details about the cutting position adjustment.

Auto Cut is selectable after the Roll Paper is selected as the Paper Source setting.

Paper Size

Select the paper size that you want to use. You can also add a custom paper size.

Copies

Select the number of copies that you want to print. You can select Collate to print one set at a time or Reverse Order to print your documents in reverse order, starting with the last page.

Orientation

Select Portrait (tall) or Landscape (wide) to change the orientation of your printout. To print closer to the bottom of the page, select the Rotate by 180° check box.

Printable Area

Use this option in the Printable Area Box to adjust the total area available for printing when sheet Feeder is selected as the Paper Source setting. This feature is not available when No Margins or Roll Paper is selected.

To center the printout, select Center. To increase the printable area at the bottom edge from 14 mm to 3 mm, select Maximum. Do not select Maximum while using Premium Glossy Photo Paper.

Note:
The print quality may decline at the edges of the printout when Maximum is selected as the Printable Area setting. Before printing large jobs using this setting, print a single sheet to confirm quality.
When Maximum is selected, make sure that the paper loaded in the sheet feeder is not curled.
If you select Maximum when printing on Premium Glossy Photo Paper, your printout may be smeared in the expanded area (between 14 mm and 3 mm from the bottom edge).

Roll Paper Option

The Roll Paper Option settings are only available when Roll Paper is selected as the Paper Source setting. These features are not available when Sheet Feeder is selected.

The available settings are described below.

Banner Mode:
Select this mode when you want to print multi-page data as continuous data on the roll paper, rather than as individual pages. When this check box is selected, the Save roll paper check box is enabled.

Cut Sheet Mode:
Select this mode when you want to print multi-page data as individual pages, rather than as continuous data. When this check box is selected, the Print page frame check box is enabled.

Save roll paper:
Select this check box when you want to save roll paper. When this check box is selected, the blank portion of the last page of your document is not fed through the printer. This feature is only available when No Cut is selected.

Print page frame:
Select this check box to print a line on the roll paper between pages in a multi-page document to indicate where the paper should be cut. This feature is useful when it is unclear where the page breaks should be. This feature is only available when No Cut is selected.
