amount to avoid printing on the platen.

"*2": After the 4 sides borderless cut, the actual printed size is approximately 2mm smaller

below, irregular coloring may occur when the edges are cut.

• Textured Fine Art Paper
• Ultra Smooth Fine Art Paper
Left and right margins can be set to zero. In this case the upper and
lower margins are set by the roll paper margin settings.
Cuts the top and bottom edges in the way as described below to
create a printout without margins on all four sides:
• The top edge of the first page is cut off leaving “minimum cut
margin”.during the printing.
• No margin is created between pages and the printer cuts on the
boundary to separate the pages.
• The bottom edge of the last page is cut off after the printing is
complete.
Cuts the top and bottom edges in the way as described below to
create a printout without margins on all four sides.
• The top edge of the first page is cut off leaving “auto refresh
margin” during the printing.
• Each time printing one page is complete, the bottom edge is cut
off and the paper is fed a little (create a minimum cut margin
between pages), and the top edge of the next page is cut off
during printing. This mode is more accurate than the Single Cut
mode as it cuts the paper twice to separate pages.

NOTE "*1": There are no borderless printing guarantees for cut sheet paper.
"*2": Borderless printing is not guaranteed if a number of outer layers of th e
roll surface have stretched due to moisture absorption.
"*3": Borderless printing on media and sizes other than those listed above are
guaranteed the same way as the Stylus Pro 7600/9600 do. However, if
media that has been stretched by humidity and other environmental
conditions is used, it is possible that borders on the right and left hand
sides may occur.
Bleeding print width for pri nti ng off both left and right edges
The bleeding print width for the left and right edges can be selected among the
following settings using the printer driver.
Left (opposite home side) = 1.5mm/ Right (home side) = 1.5mm
Left (opposite home side) = 3.0mm/ Right (home side) = 3.0mm (Default)
Left (opposite home side) = 5.0mm/ Right (home side) = 3.0mm *
NOTE "*1": If humid environmental conditions have caused the media to stretch,
“Left (opposite home side) = 5.0mm/ Right (home side) = 3.0mm”
selection is recommended to prevent left and right edge margins
occurring.
"*2": The “Left (opposite home side) = 5.0mm/ Right (home side) = 3.0mm”
setting shifts the center position of the image 1 mm away from that of
the print data.

cartridges installed, and then turn the power OFF again after confirming
the capping operation is complete.
• If the printer is left under an ambient temperature of minus 15
the printhead and ink cartridges will freeze.
If this happens, move the printer, or heat the room so that the ambient
temperature is 25
