Useful Printing Techniques
Printing with Borderless Printing

You can print over the entire paper surface, so that no margins are left on the four sides of the paper by using
Borderless Printing function.

Note The Borderless Printing feature is available for the following media sizes.
See Photo Paper Pro PR-101 (Letter and 4" x 6" size)
See Photo Paper Plus Glossy PP-101 (Letter, 4" x 6" and 5" x 7" size)
See Matte Photo Paper MP-101 (Letter size)
See Glossy Photo Paper GP-301N/GP-301 (Letter size)
Printing on other types of paper may result in inferior in print quality or color deviation.
Print quality may decrease or smudging may occur at the top and bottom edges of the
paper.
When you use Borderless Printing, create the data by using the same size as the paper
size, and paste the data so that it fills the editing screen without leaving any margins. If
you are using an application that allows you to set margins, set the left, right, top and
bottom margins to 0 mm or 0 inches. For instructions on setting margins, refer to the
user's manual for your application.

surface.
Clean the print head first and print with the correct paper.
Also see Compatible Media Types, and check the suitable paper for printing.
 The paper must not be curled.
If you are using paper printable on both sides, this problem can be resolved by simply turning the paper
over.
When printing on thick paper, set the paper thickness lever to the left.
This widens a gap between the print head and the paper. If the paper is scratched even when printing on
plain paper, also try this. When the message suggesting that the position of the lever is not proper
displayed, continue printing.
Reduce the Intensity setting in the printer driver and try printing again.
When printing an image with high intensity, especially on plain paper, the paper may absorb too much ink
and become wavy. This may cause the printed surface to become scratched.

Printing Stops Before It is Completed
Check the status of the POWER lamp.
When the POWER lamp is flashing green, the printer is processing data. Printing a large amount of data such
as a photo or graphics takes time for the computer to process the data, during which the printer may appear
not to be functioning.
In addition, when continuously printing material that uses a large amount of black ink on plain paper, the
printer will sometimes pause. In either case, simply wait until the processing is completed.

Cancel the print job and turn the printer off for at least 15 minutes to cool the print
head down.
The print head can overheat when continuously printing for long time. To protect the print head, the printer
will sometimes pause automatically at a line break before resuming.
In this event, interrupt the print job at a convenient time and turn the printer off for at least 15 minutes.
Furthermore, when continuously printing graphics or photos with intense colors, printing may stop to protect
the print head. In this case, printing will not resume. Turn the printer off and wait for at least 15 minutes.

Caution Inside the printer, the area around the print head can become extremely hot. Do not touch
the print head or nearby components.

Printer Moves But Does Not Print
