I want to scan an A4 document and then print it at full size so have an exact duplicate, but what is happening is the image scanned or printed will be smaller than A4 so it does not fill out the entire page or sheet of paper, I've tried everything I can think of, and have set the scanner to scan 100% or page 210 x 297 but what I get is a smaller image, I have saved the image directly from paint and tried , as well with MS publisher 2007, but with no luck

I have an epson stylus t200 printer

if anyone could help out I would be extremely grateful

thanks

Check the printer's documentation for minimum margin sizes. Few non-commercial printers can print full bleed (all the way to the edge of the paper). If the printer is physically capable of supporting larger paper, you can print to larger paper and then trim the paper.

Most printers whether ink or laser will maintain a "no print area" usually about a 0.25% around the page. This is to prevent spillage of toner or ink on to the underlying rollers and parts.

Some of the high end lasers (Lexmark's) will allow for two different sizes of A4 paper. They also have a command set that will allow "Edge to Edge" printing.

As to the Stylus T200, I cannot find any such model on the Epson website.
