Photo printing

[Smeg33]

Printer Deskjet 2710e  purchased and set up very recently. Everything seems OK - Printing documents, pages from internet etc.

When printing PHOTOS It always cuts off the bottom ONE cm or so  for example 10x15cm always prints 10x 14 or 13 x18 cm always prints as 13 x 17 approx

This printer requires a larger margin along the bottom edge.

Print Margin Bottom (A4)	12.7 mm
Print Margin Left (A4)	3 mm
Print Margin Right (A4)	3 mm
Print Margin Top (A4)	3 mm

Set the print margins to no smaller than that size on all edges.

Use photo printing software / application to accommodate the margins.

Example - HP Smart - Windows - Simple photo Print

NOTE:  Test the Crop / Fit options to see which better suits your setup / need.

This next example shows the rest of the setup, including More Settings.

Ignore the "Borderless" bits - your printer does not support Borderless printing.

========================================================================

Older software - still works and easy to use...

Example -  Paint (mspaint)  - Borderless / No Borderless Print - Margin Settings

Print_Photos_Paint_2FE

What else?

Use a Printing software that manages the margins and can center the print on the paper.

Example - Irfanview > Simple Print - Print to Size

Irfanview_Print_1
