Printing Options Using Rolls and Sheets
Printing Options Using Rolls and Sheets
The printer supports both rolls and sheets. This section introduces the main features of each, as well as the main printing methods available. Select rolls or sheets to suit your particular printing application.
O󱐯 ........................................................................................................................................... 17
• For information on the types of paper the printer supports, refer to the Paper Reference Guide. (See "Types of Pa-

• A variety of other ways to print are available besides those introduced here. Choose the printing method that suits your
particular printing application, referring to "Working with Various Print Jobs" and "Enhanced Printing Options" from the table of contents.
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.97
•
Borderless printing Print without a margin (border) around posters or photos.
(See "Borderless Printing on Paper of Equivalent Size.") ➔ P.87 (See "Borderless Printing by Resizing Originals to Fit the Roll Width.") ➔ P.90 (See "Borderless Printing at Actual Size.") ➔ P.80
•
Banner printing You can print multiple pages as a single continuous image, without margins between pages.
(See "Printing Multiple Pages Continuously.") ➔ P.114
•
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.135
•
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.65 (See "Resizing Originals to Fit the Roll Width.") ➔ P.67 (See "Resizing Originals by Entering a Scaling Value.") ➔ P.71
