Solution
To ensure the best print quality, the machine allows a margin along each edge of media. The actual printable area will be the area inside these margins.
- Recommended printing area (dark blue): Canon recommends that you print within this area.()
- Printable area (light blue): The area where it is possible to print. ()
However, printing in this area can affect the print quality or the paper feed precision.
REFERENCE
- With performing Automatic Duplex Printing and Duplex (Two-sided) Copying, the printable area will be 0.08 inches / 2 mm smaller at the top margin.
By selecting the Borderless Printing option, you can make prints with no margins.
- When performing Borderless Printing, slight cropping may occur at the edges since the printed image is enlarged to fill the whole page.
- For Borderless Printing, use the following paper.
