When selecting the paper size with Borderless (Auto Expand), Borderless (Auto Expand, Maximum), Borderless (Retain Size), Borderless (Retain Size, Maximum), Roll Paper - Borderless (Auto Expand), Roll Paper - Borderless (Retain Size), or Roll Paper - Borderless Banner as the Paper Size in the Page Setup dialog, Epson recommends the following media conditions.

Accommodate media width:

8 inch, 203.2 mm

210 mm (A4)

Letter (8.5 in), 215.9 mm

10 inch, 254 mm

257 mm

14 inch, 355.6 mm

400 mm

Note:

You cannot perform borderless printing on cut-sheet media with a width of 420 mm (A2).

When printing on roll paper with a width of 8 inches (203.2 inch) or 420 mm (A2), attach the spacer to the spindle. See Attaching the spacer to the spindle.

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

When printing on cut-sheet media, only the left and right margins are set to zero.

The ink may contaminate the platen of the printer. In this case, wipe the ink away using a cloth.

Printing with this feature takes longer time than normal printing.

Only Plain Paper and Plain Paper (line drawing) can set the bottom margin to 3 mm. When printing on the other media, the bottom margin is always 14 mm.

When Premium Glossy Photo Paper (250) roll paper or Premium Semigloss Photo Paper (250) roll paper is used in printing, the top margin is always 20 mm.

Smear may result in the top and bottom areas depending on the media.

To perform borderless printing, follow the steps below.

Note:

Always match the Format for setting in the Page Setup dialog with the Printer setting in the Print dialog; otherwise, data may not be printed correctly.

Select the paper size with Borderless (Auto Expand), Borderless (Auto Expand, Maximum), Borderless (Retain Size), Borderless (Retain Size, Maximum), Roll Paper - Borderless (Auto Expand), Roll Paper - Borderless (Retain Size), or Roll Paper - Borderless Banner as the Paper Size in the Page Setup dialog.
