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)

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.
(1) Select this check box. When the notification message appears, confirm and click OK.
(2) Move this slide bar to adjust the portion that extends beyond page border. It is recommended that
you normally set the slide bar to the right end. If you move the slide bar to the left to reduce the
extension amount, a border may appear.
(3) Click OK.
Note Use the Preview Screen to view your photograph. Click on the Preview before printing
check box in the Main tab.

Print Quality is Poor
Note Printed colors may not match screen colors perfectly due to basic differences in the
methods used to produce colors. Color control settings and environmental differences can
also affect how colors appear on the screen.
Print the nozzle check pattern to ensure that the ink is ejected correctly.
If the nozzle check pattern does not print correctly, clean the print head.
Refer to your Quick Start Guide for instructions on how to print a nozzle check pattern.
If the problem is not resolved after cleaning the print head several times, replace either of ink tanks. If print
quality still remains poor, the print head may be worn out. Contact the Customer Care Center.

Note When printing a large amount of data such as a photo or graphics, it takes longer than usual
to begin printing. While the POWER lamp is flashing, the computer processes the data and
sends it to the printer. Simply wait until the processing is completed.
When printing data using the battery, check the battery level. For more details, refer to the LK-51 User's
Guide.
Note If you are using a switch box or other device, remove and reconnect the printer directly to
the computer. Try printing again.
If printing is now successful, there may be a problem with the device.
Also there could be a problem with the cable(s). Replace the cable(s) and try printing
again.
Note In Windows, you can set the Canon i70 as the default printer.
2 Click the Ports tab (or Details tab) and set the printer port.
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.
If the print head cover has been left open for a while, close and reopen it.
If the print head cover is left open for more than 10 minutes, the print head holder moves to the right to
prevent the print head from drying out. Close and reopen the print head cover to return the holder to the
center.

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.
