Defining a custom paper size
In the Page Setup dialog box, you can change the paper size, specify the paper orientation, rotate your document by 180 degrees, reduce or enlarge your printout, and adjust the printable area.
Choose Page Setup from the File menu of your application. The Page Setup dialog box appears.
You can make the following settings in the Page Setup dialog box.
|
Paper Size |
Select the paper size that you want to use. If you want to define a custom paper size, see Defining a custom paper size. |
|
No Margins |
Check this box when you want to print with no margins. This feature prints to all four edges of the paper. You can use the following media with this feature.
Matte Paper-Heavyweight:
Photo Paper:
Premium Glossy Photo Paper
Note: Printing with this feature selected takes longer than for normal printing. Because this feature enlarges the image to a size slightly larger than the paper size when Sheet Feeder is selected as the Paper Source setting, the portion of the image that extends beyond the edges of the paper will not be printed. Print quality may decline in the top and bottom areas of the printout, or the area may be smeared when printing on media other than that listed above. We recommend printing a single sheet to check quality before printing large jobs. You cannot use this feature with ColorLife Photo Paper, Photo Quality Glossy Film, Ink Jet Transparencies, Iron-On Cool Peel Transfer Paper or 360 dpi Ink Jet Paper. |
|
Orientation |
Select Portrait (tall) or Landscape (wide) to change the orientation of your printout. To print close to the bottom of the page, select the Rotate by 180 degrees check box. |
|
Reduce or Enlarge |
Use this setting to reduce or enlarge the size of your image from 25 to 400%. |
|
Printable Area |
Use the options in the Printable Area box to adjust the total area available for printing when Sheet Feeder is selected as the paper source setting. This feature is not available when No Margins is selected. To center the printout, select Centered. To increase the printable area, select Maximum. Do not select Maximum while using Premium Glossy Photo Paper.
