Click OK.
When you execute print, the specified number of copies will be printed with the specified printing order.
Important
When the application software that you used to create the document has the same function, specify
the settings on the printer driver. However, if the print results are not acceptable, specify the function
settings on the application software. When you specify the number of copies and the printing order
with both the application software and this printer driver, the number of copies may be multiplied
numbers of the two settings or the specified printing order may not be enabled.
Print from Last Page appears grayed out and is unavailable when Tiling/Poster is selected for
Page Layout.
When Booklet is selected for Page Layout, Print from Last Page and Collate appear grayed out
and cannot be set.
Note
By setting both Print from Last Page and Collate, you can perform printing so that papers are
collated one by one starting from the last page.
These settings can be used in combination with Normal-size, Borderless, Fit-to-Page, Scaled, PageLayout, and Duplex Printing (Manual).
15
Setting the Stapling Margin
The procedure for setting the staple side and the margin width is as follows:
Open the printer driver setup window
1.
Specify the side to be stapled
2.
Check the position of the stapling margin from Stapling Side on the Page Setup tab.
The printer analyzes the Orientation and Page Layout settings, and automatically selects the best
staple position. When you want to change the setting, select from the list.
3.
Set the margin width
If necessary, click Specify Margin... and set the margin width, and then click OK.
Note
The printer automatically reduces the print area depending on the staple position margin.
4.
Complete the setup
16
Click OK on the Page Setup tab.
When you execute print, the data is printed with the specified staple side and margin width.
Important
Stapling Side and Specify Margin... appear grayed out and are unavailable when:
Borderless, Tiling/Poster, or Booklet is selected for Page LayoutScaled is selected for Page Layout (When Duplex Printing (Manual) is also selected, only
Stapling Side can be specified.)
17
Execute Borderless Printing
The borderless printing function allows you to print data without any margin by enlarging the data so that it
extends slightly off the paper. In standard printing, margins are created around the document area.
However, in borderless printing function, these margins are not created. When you want to print data such
as a photo without providing any margin around it, set borderless printing.
The procedure for performing borderless printing is as follows:
You can also set borderless printing in Additional Features on the Quick Setup tab.
Setting Borderless Printing
1. Open the printer driver setup window
2. Set borderless printing
Select Borderless from the Page Layout list on the Page Setup tab.
Click OK when the confirmation message appears.
When a message prompting you to change the media type appears, select a media type from the list
and click OK.
3.
Check the paper size
Check the Page Size list. When you want to change it, select another page size from the list. The list
displays only sizes that can be used for borderless printing.
4.
Adjust the amount of extension from the paper
If necessary, adjust the amount of extension using the Amount of Extension slider.
Moving the slider to the right increases the amount extending off the paper, and moving the slider to
18
the left decreases the amount.
It is recommended to set the slider at the second position from the right for most cases.
Important
When the Amount of Extension slider is set to the rightmost position, the back side of the
paper may become smudged.
Complete the setup
5.
Click OK.
When you execute print, the data is printed without any margins on the paper.
Important
When a page size that cannot be used for borderless printing is selected, the size is automatically
changed to the valid page sizes for borderless printing.
When Borderless is selected, the Printer Paper Size, Duplex Printing (Manual), Stapling Side
settings, and the Stamp/Background... (Stamp...) button on the Page Setup tab appear grayed out
and are unavailable.
Borderless printing can be executed only if, on the Main tab, Media Type is set to Photo Paper Plus
Glossy II N, Photo Paper Plus Glossy II, Photo Paper Pro Platinum, Photo Paper Pro Luster,
Photo Paper Plus Semi-gloss, Matte Photo Paper, Other Glossy Paper, or Ink Jet Hagaki.
Depending on the type of the media used during borderless printing, the print quality may deteriorate
at the top and bottom of the sheet or stains may form.
When the ratio of the height to the width differs from the image data, a portion of the image may not
be printed depending on the size of the media used.
In this case, crop the image data with an application software according to the paper size.
Expanding the Range of the Document to Print
Setting a large amount of extension allows you to perform borderless printing with no problems. However,
the portion of the document extending off the paper range will not be printed and for this reason, the
subjects around the perimeter of a photo may not be printed.
Try borderless printing once. When you are not satisfied with the result of borderless printing, reduce the
amount of extension. The extension amount decreases as the Amount of Extension slider is moved to the
left.
Important
When the amount of extension is decreased, an unexpected margin may be produced on the print,
depending on the size of the paper.
Note
When the Amount of Extension slider is set to the leftmost position, image data will be printed in
the full size. If you set this when printing the address side of a postcard, the postal code of the sender
is printed in the correct position.
When Preview before printing is checked on the Main tab, you can confirm whether there will be
no border before printing.
