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.

Caution

Borderless Printing

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.

– Photo Paper Pro PR-101

– Photo Paper Pro II PR-201

– Glossy Photo Paper “Everyday Use” GP-501

– Photo Paper Glossy GP-502

– Photo Paper Plus Glossy PP-101

– Photo Paper Plus Glossy II PP-201

– Photo Paper Plus Semi-gloss SG-201

– Matte Photo Paper MP-101

Performing Borderless Printing on any other type of paper may substantially reduce printing

quality and/or result in printouts with altered color hues.

Borderless Printing on plain paper may result in printouts with reduced quality. Use them only for test printing. You can perform Borderless Printing on plain paper only when printing from your computer.

Depending on the type of paper, Borderless Printing may reduce the print quality at the top and bottom edges of the paper or cause these parts to become smudged.
