Borderless Printouts

1. Open the document or image you want to print.

2. Go to the "Print" menu or press Ctrl+P.

3. In the print settings, select the HP P2055dn printer.

4. Look for an option called "Page Setup" or "Margins."

5. Adjust the margins to the minimum or set them to zero.

6. Check if there is an option for "Borderless Printing" and enable it if available.

7. Click on the "Print" button to start printing your document or image without margins.

Please note that not all printers support borderless printing, so make sure to check the printer's specifications or user manual for more information.

Reasons for Printer Margins:

Mechanical Limitations: Laser printers have internal mechanisms (rollers, fusers, etc.) that need space to grab and handle the paper. This necessitates a small unprintable margin around the edge.

Print Reliability: Printing to the absolute edge can increase the risk of toner smudging or paper jams, leading to messy output.

What you CAN do:

Check Your Application's Settings:

Many programs (like Word, Adobe Acrobat) have a "Borderless Printing" or "Scale to Fit" option in their print settings. See if your application offers this.

Important: Using this might slightly stretch or distort the document to make it reach the edges.

Adjust Page Margins:

Minimize the margins within your document to the smallest your application allows. This will maximize the printable area.

Print on Larger Paper:

If possible, print your document on a slightly larger paper size and then carefully trim the edges to achieve the desired effect.

Note: The HP P2055dn printer specification sheet usually states the minimum printable margins. You can find this information on the HP website or in the printer's manual.
