Roll printing
Media in spooled rolls is generally called Roll Media. Rolls are loaded on the Roll Holder, which are in turn loaded in the printer. Rolls can be used to print large photos or create posters or banners that cannot be printed on regular sheets.
Large-format printing Easily print vertical or horizontal banners from familiar applications such as Microsoft Office applications.
(See "Printing Vertical or Horizontal Banners (Large-Format Printing).") ➔P.86
Borderless printing Print without a margin (border) around posters or photos.
(See "Borderless Printing on Paper of Equivalent Size.") ➔ P.77 (See "Borderless Printing by Resizing Originals to Fit the Roll Width.") ➔ P.80 (See "Borderless Printing at Actual Size.") ➔ P.72
Banner printing You can print multiple pages as a single continuous image, without margins between pages.
(See "Printing Multiple Pages Continuously.") ➔ P.102
90-degree rotation before printing Originals in portrait orientation are rotated 90 degrees when possible to use paper more efficiently.
(See "Conserving Roll Paper by Rotating Originals 90 Degrees.") ➔ P.121
Enlarged/reduced printing You can freely adjust the size of originals by enlarging or reducing originals before printing.
(See "Resizing Originals to Match the Paper Size.") ➔ P.58 (See "Resizing Originals to Fit the Roll Width.") ➔ P.60 (See "Resizing Originals by Entering a Scaling Value.") ➔ P.63
