Poster

This function allows you to create a poster-size output by enlarging a single-page document to cover multiple sheets of paper. The divided images are printed with an overlap of 15 mm (0.59 inches) on the margin of each sheet, so you can paste them seamlessly. This function is available for the PCL 6 printer driver.

When you print the paper using the poster function, nothing is printed on the four corners of the paper.

Important
