Are you talking about doing borderless via QTR?

If so, there are ways. There's nothing you can do about the top
border. For the right border, move the paper over about 1/8 inch to
the left of the main paper guide when you load the paper. You can make
a little guide extension.

For the left border, set the paper size 1/4 inch larger than the paper
really is. That covers the 1/8 inch offset you created for the right
border.

And, of course, you set the paper 1/8 inch longer than the actual length.

Now, two things to keep in mind. First, the 2100/2200 isn't designed
to print borderless when the matte black (or matte black equivelant
like Ebonie) is in use. When you print borderless, there is an
overspray of ink into the printer's platen sponges. Matte black is
designed to not soak into paper and disappear, so it also doesn't soak
into the sponges, and tends to gum up the printer.

Second, the closer you get to the bottom of the page, the more
marginal the printer's ability to dependably grip and feed the paper gets.

Have fun.
