 The printer detects the paper width wh en paper is s et. (If th e paper width detection

setting is OFF, the printer does not detect the paper width.)

 The printer does not print the image exceeding the detected paper width and the

 The top/bottom/left/right margins (TM, BM, LM, RM) can be set to zero under

special conditions.



Because the printer detects tilt of loaded paper in a range of 3 mm at both left and right sides, an image bleeds off both left and right edges of paper by 3 mm each at borderless printing. However, if the distance between the paper edges and the platen (sponge width) is less than 3 mm, the bleeding margins are adjusted to less than 3 mm (within the range of 0 mm (Refer to "1.4.2 Borderless Printing" (p17), for the borderless print specification.)
