Borderless print Single cut The upper edge cut is performed by interrupting print operation; there is chance of color shading according to data. By adjusting cutter position, there is chance of data from continuous page remaining in top or bottom edge of the page.
Borderless print Double cut The upper edge cut is performed by interrupting print operation; there is chance of color shading according to data. To avoid remaining of margin, cut off the top and bottom part of the paper by going inside of image. Therefore the actual size will be about 2mm smaller than the specified print area.
