A

Borderless

The default printer driver setting is “Borderless”.

B

The top area may become slightly uneven depending on the image since the print

 

 

operation stops while cutting the top edge of

 

 

the roll paper.

 

 

 

 

If the cut position is misaligned slightly, small

 

A

 

parts of the image may be shown on the top or

Single Cut

 

bottom of the adjacent pages. If this occurs,

 

perform “Adjust Cut Position”.

 

 

 

B

When printing only one page the operation

 

 

performed is the same as that for “Double Cut”.

 

 

When continuously printing multiple sheets,

 

 

 

 

the printer cuts 1 mm inside on the top edge of

 

 

the first page and the bottom edge of the

 

 

subsequent pages to avoid showing margins.

The printed paper is approximately 2 mm

shorter than the specified size since the printer

 

cuts the paper inside the image to avoid

 

 

 

showing top and bottom margins.

 

B

 

After cutting the bottom edge of the previous

 

 

page, the printer feeds the paper, and then cuts

 

 

the top edge of the following page. Although

 

 

 

 

 

 

this produces 60 to 127 mm cut-off pieces, the

 

 

cut is more accurate.
