About print settings:
When a paper type other than Plain Paper is selected, or when a paper size other than A4, Letter, B5, and A5 is selected, printing is done on one side of paper even if double-sided printing is selected.
When the plain paper is selected, or when B5 or A5 size is selected, printing is done with borders (white margins) even if borderless printing is selected.
Depending on the print data, the printout may look different from the data themselves.
In some devices, print settings cannot be made when sending print data using Google Cloud Print.
