Notes on Paper for Full-page Borderless Printing
- Duplex printing is not available for full-page borderless printing.
- You cannot use A5, B5, B4, and Legal-sized paper, and envelopes for full-page borderless printing.
- You can use plain paper for full-page borderless printing. However, this may result in lower print quality. We recommend using plain paper for a trial print.
