2. User should make the horizontal width of the image 3mm wider on both the right and left edges (6mm total) of the image to avoid white area caused by media skew. These areas are printed off the edge of the paper on the absorbing pad on the platen. No automatic scaling or magnification is done by either SoftRIP or the printer.
   Note: You should have the paper width set to 6mm (.235") greater than the width of the paper. This may require first selecting the borderless printing option in the properties and secondly setting the paper width (or selecting Set Maximum Width) in the setup screen.

   2. 2-Cut: Cuts the image perfectly, but wastes space between pages.
