Edges of the Image are Cropped During Borderless Printing

During borderless printing, the image is slightly enlarged and the protruding area is cropped. Select a smaller
enlargement setting.
❏ Windows
Click Settings next to the Borderless checkbox on the printer driver's Main tab, and then change the settings.
❏ Mac OS X
Change the Expansion setting from the print dialog's Print Settings menu.

The Position, Size, or Margins of the Printout Are Incorrect

❏ Load paper in the correct direction, and slide the edge guides against the edges of the paper.
❏ When placing the originals on the scanner glass, align the corner of the original with the corner indicated by a
symbol on the frame of the scanner glass. If the edges of the copy are cropped off, move the original slightly
away from the corner.
❏ When placing the originals on the scanner glass, clean the scanner glass and the document cover. If there is dust
or stains on the glass, the copy area may extend to include the dust or stains, resulting in the wrong copying
position or small images.
❏ Select the appropriate paper size setting.
❏ Adjust the margin setting in the application so that it falls within the printable area.
