If your application has margin settings, make sure they are set to
zero before printing.
When printing on cut-sheet media, only the left and right margins
are set to zero.
The ink may contaminate the platen of the printer. In this case, wipe
the ink away using a cloth.
Printing with this feature takes longer time than normal printing.
Only Plain Paper and Plain Paper (line drawing) can set the bottom
margin to 3 mm. When printing on the other media, the bottom
margin is always 14 mm.
When Premium Glossy Photo Paper (250) roll paper or Premium
Semigloss Photo Paper (250) roll paper is used in printing, the top
margin is always 20 mm.

Note:
Enlarged areas that exceed the paper size will not
be printed on the paper.
Retain Size Select this setting if you do not want to change the
ratio of your print data.
If you select this setting, you need to enlarge your
image data to exceed the paper width, to avoid
unprinted areas appearing along the left and right
edges. Enlarging 3 mm in both the left and right
directions is recommended, using the application
that created the data.
To use this feature, see “Making the Paper Size
setting” on page 55.
Amount of
Enlargement
When you select Auto Expand, the slider becomes
available. Using the slider, you can control the
amount of the image that extends beyond the
edges of the paper during borderless printing.
For most print jobs, Standard is recommended in
order to eliminate margins on all sides of the paper.
In a very humid environment, the width of paper
may expand due to moisture absorption. In this
case, move the slider to Max to eliminate margins
around the image. If Max is selected, the center of
the image may move about 1 mm to the right.
Moving the slider towards Min decreases the
amount of the image enlargement; however, as this
amount decreases, margins may appear on one or
more sides of the paper.

To save ink, use the Nozzle Check utility first to confirm that the
print head needs to be cleaned. This is because the cleaning process
consumes some ink.
When one check ink out light is flashing or on, you cannot clean the
print head. Replace the appropriate ink cartridge first. See
“Replacing Ink Cartridges” on page 295.
1. Make sure the printer is turned on and all ink check lights are
off.
2. Click Head Cleaning.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions.
4. Click Print Nozzle Check Pattern in the Head Cleaning
dialog box to confirm that the head is clean and to reset the
cleaning cycle.
If you still find missing dots after cleaning, try the following
solutions.
Select PWR CLEANING from the control panel on the printer. See
“PWR CLEANING” on page 245.

Note:
The specific features available in the printer software vary depending on
the printer model and the version of Windows that you are using.

Always spool RAW datatype (For Windows XP and 2000
only)
To enable NT-based clients spool documents to use the RAW
format instead of the EMF (metafile) format, select the Always
Spool Raw datatype check box (Windows NT-based
applications use the EMF format by default).
Try using this option if documents spooled in the EMF format do
not print correctly.
Depending on the data to print, spooling RAW datatype requires
fewer resources than EMF, so some problems (“Insufficient
Memory/Disk Space to Print”, “Slow print speed”, etc) can be
solved by selecting this option.
Note:
When you spool RAW datatype, the print progress as displayed by the
Progress Meter may differ from the actual printing progress.
Page Rendering Mode (For Windows XP and 2000 only)
Use this function when the print speed is extremely slow or when
the print head stops for a few minutes while printing. When this
check box is selected, the print speed may improve by rendering
as page.
However, the following problems may occur.
Print progress displayed in the Progress Meter window may
differ from the actual print progress.
Printing may take a longer time to start.

Increasing the Print Speed
General tips
Printing color data using higher print quality settings takes longer
than printing black-and-white data using standard print quality,
as the volume of high quality color data is much greater. For this
reason, it is important to be selective in your use of color and print
quality settings if you also require a faster print speed.
However, even if your data requires the highest print quality and
extensive use of color, it may still be possible to optimize the print
speed by adjusting other printing conditions.
The following table shows the factors that inversely affect print
speed and print quality.
The following table shows the factors related to print speed only.

Amount of
Enlargement
When you select Auto Expand, the slider becomes
available. Using the slider, you can control the
amount of the image that extends beyond the
edges of the paper during borderless printing.
For most print jobs, Standard is recommended in
order to eliminate margins on all sides of the paper.
In a very humid environment, the width of paper may
expand due to moisture absorption. In this case,
move the slider to Max to eliminate margins around
the image. If Max is selected, the center of the image
may move about 1 mm to the right.
Moving the slider towards Min decreases the amount
of the image enlargement; however, as this amount
decreases, margins may appear on one or more
sides of the paper.

Making Double-sided Printing setting
You can perform double-sided printing. There are two types of
double-sided printing available. Standard double-sided printing
allows you to print the odd-numbered pages first. Once these
pages are printed, the paper can then be reloaded for printing the
even-numbered pages onto the opposite side of the paper.
You can also perform Folded Booklet double-sided printing. It
lets you make single-fold booklets.
Note:
The double-sided printing feature is not available when the printer
is accessed over a network, or is used as a shared printer.
Depending on the media type, stacks of up to 30 sheets can be loaded
into the sheet feeder during double-sided printing.
Only use media types that are suitable for double-sided printing;
otherwise, the print quality may deteriorate.
Depending on the type of paper and the amount of ink used to print
text and images, ink may bleed through to the other side of the paper.
The surface of the paper may be smeared during the double-sided
printing.

Folded Booklet double-sided printing
You can also make single-fold booklets using the double-sided
printing feature. When you create a single-fold booklet, the pages
that appear on the outside (after the booklet is folded) are printed
first. The pages that will appear inside the booklet can then be
printed after the paper is reloaded into the printer.
Binding Edge
A booklet can be created by printing pages 1 and 4 on the first
sheet of paper, pages 5 and 8 on the second sheet of paper, and
pages 9 and 12 on the third sheet of paper. After these sheets are
reloaded into the sheet feeder, you can then print pages 2 and 3
on the back of the first sheet of paper, pages 6 and 7 on the back
of the second sheet of paper, and pages 10 and 11 on the back of
the third sheet of paper. The resulting pages can then be folded
