Instructions

1. 

   Download photos from your camera to your computer.

   Download your digital photo to your computer from a digital camera, email or the Internet. Save the photo to your hard drive to a folder that you can find later such as "Pictures."

2. Open your digital photo in a photo-viewing software. Click "Print" from your menu. Go to your printer properties to change your printer's "Page Setup." Access "Properties" through the "Preferences" or "Options" link in your "Print" dialog box. Many software programs have a default margin or border for photos; to print borderless photos, you'll have to remove the default margin.

3. Go to "Page Layout" and find the "Borderless Print" option and click the box. Use the drop-down box in "Size" of paper for older versions of Windows. If you cannot find "Borderless" in your "Page Layout" options, your printer does not support borderless printing.

4. 

   Insert your photo paper into your printer's paper feeder. Make sure the guides are set to keep the paper straight when feeding begins during the print process. Click the "Print" button.
