SIZE CHECK to ON in the Menu mode.

The discharge of ink is controlled in accordance with the media type. If you print on

Lower the density of the ink in Paper Configuration dialog box in the printer driver. The
printer may be discharging too much ink for the paper. See the online help of the
printer driver for detailed information on the Paper Configuration dialog box.

even when borderless is set. Refer to the handling instructions for the paper for correct
storage.

so that margins appear even when borderless is set. We recommend that you use the
recommended paper for borderless printing.
