This post has been extracted directly from the manual, therefore if you still have your manual we recommend reading it thoroughly to be able to gain more information about your printer and how to take a good care of it.

The configuration procedure for borderless printing is the following:

You must have already installed the corresponding drivers, and also to know a little bit about how to manipulate the way they function. Step #1: The first step is to open the printer’s settings to select the borderless printing option. You can locate this option on the page layout menu.

In order to access the printer settings Window, you must follow the next steps. However, this will all depend on the operating system you’re working with. If you wish to learn which operating system you’re using on your computer, please read the post how to find out which operating system I’m using.

Steps to access your printer’s settings:

1. In windowsxp, select start menu - control panel - printers and other hardware - printers and faxes. 2. If you’re using windows7, click on start menu - printing devices.
Now select your printer model. On windows7, it’s usually depicted with a printer logo. Then open the file menu and select printing preferences. A new driver configuration window will appear. Step #2: Now that you have entered the printer’s preferences, you will be able to see many different options to choose from. Select the page setup option, located on the upper part of the window.

From now on, you could start getting a message every time you’re about to print, asking you to select this option or not for that particular printing job. Step #5: Check the type of paper you want to print with has been set as the default one. If you’re about to print with A4 paper, for example, make sure the page size on your printer is also A4. You can change or modify this on the page size option. Step #6: Now you must adjust the amount of extension according to your own need. You will need to do this particular configuration using the gliding menu. If you go right, you’ll increase the size, and if you go left you’ll decrease it.
