EPSON Product Support Bulletin Date: PSB #: Reference: Product(s): Subject: 12/20/2002 PSB.2002.06.001B EPSON Stylus Pro 7600/9600 Reference Guide EPSON Stylus Pro 7600/9600 Series No Margin and Borderless Printing Originator: Authorization: Total Pages: RR/ER 4 This bulletin is provided for assistance on how to create and print a borderless document on the EPSON Stylus Pro 7600 and EPSON Stylus Pro 7600 Inkjet printers. There are two aspects to this new feature: "No Margin", which allows the image to bleed off the left and right side of the page on sheet or roll media, and "Borderless" which is a true 4 sided page using "No Margin" and Auto Cut on roll media only. Important Information regarding Borderless Printing: 1. No Margin and Borderless printing are functions of the printer's hardware in combination with the EPSON standard software drivers for MAC and PC. The EPSON Fiery Spark Professional 2.01 PostScript RIP currently does not support the No Margin or Borderless printing feature. If you are using a non-Epson RIP please contact that manufacturer directly regarding whether this feature is implemented and it's use. 2. No margin and borderless printing are implemented for specific media widths only. If the No Margins option in the software driver is not selectable (grayed-out), this means the feature is not available for the media width specified. The table below details the supported widths: EPSON Stylus Pro 7600 (24" width maximum) EPSON Stylus Pro 9600 (44" width maximum) 8" 210mm 10" 300mm 12" 14" 400mm 16" 500mm 20" 600mm 24" 36" 44" 3. Borderless printing requires the use roll media and the printer's internal cutter. When choosing the following EPSON Genuine roll medias in the EPSON driver, Auto Cut is automatically disabled (regardless of selection) to prevent damage to the cutter. Damage may be due to: heavy thickness, material type, or coating and can result in early failure of the cutter resulting in incomplete or ragged cuts. (Cutter Blade re-order#: C12C815241). No margin printing is the only function supported for these media types when using the appropriate widths. Smooth Fine Art Paper Heavyweight Polyester Banner Textured Fine Art Paper Adhesive Vinyl Canvas Dupont/EPSON SemiGloss Proofing Paper Backlight Film In general: thick media or media's with coatings which may damage the blade 4. Cut sheet media supports No Margin printing only (Left/Right). 5. The originating document needs to be created (or resized) by at least 1/4" (.25 inches) over the desired finished dimensions. For No Margin printing add 1/4" to just the width. For Borderless printing add 1/4" to the width and height. 6. When loading paper, ensure that the right edge of the paper lines up to the left edge of the vertical alignment holes on the lower paper guide of the printer. Loading the paper to the right of the holes may cause a slight margin on the edge of the page. Page 1 of 4
