Printing Options Using Rolls and Sheets
The printer supports both rolls and sheets.
This section introduces the main features of each, as well as the main printing methods available. Select rolls or sheets to
suit your particular printing application.
Note
• For
information on the types of paper the printer supports, refer to the Paper Reference Guide. (See "Types
of Paper.")
→P.617
• A
variety of other ways to print are available besides those introduced here. Choose the printing method that
suits your particular printing application, referring to "Working with Various Print Jobs" and "Enhanced
Printing Options" from the table of contents.
Roll printing
Media in spooled rolls is generally called Roll Media. Rolls are loaded on the Roll Holder, which are in turn loaded in the
printer.
Rolls can be used to print large photos or create posters or banners that cannot be printed on regular sheets.
• Large-format printing
Easily print vertical or horizontal banners from familiar applications such as Microsoft Office applications.
(See "Printing Vertical or Horizontal Banners (Large-Format Printing).")
→P.115

Print without a margin (border) around posters or photos.
(See "Borderless Printing on Paper of Equivalent Size.") →P.100
(See "Borderless Printing by Resizing Originals to Fit the Roll Width.") →P.107
(See "Borderless Printing at Actual Size.") →P.91

(See "Conserving Roll Paper by Rotating Originals 90 Degrees.") →P.167
