Description

[Paper Size:]

Select the size of paper for printing.

To print on custom sized paper, use [Manage Custom Sizes...]. For details, refer to Here.

[Orientation:]

Specify the orientation of the original created in application software.

If the setting in the printer driver differs from the one specified in the application software, correct the setting.

[Scale:]

Specify the zoom ratio to enlarge or reduce the original image. The setting range differs depending on the Mac OS version.

  • [12 18] in [Paper Size:] is equivalent to 304.8 457.2 mm that is slightly larger than A3.

  • When you want to print on the entire paper of the standard size, select "W" for each standard size in [Paper Size:]. The original is printed at the center of paper larger than the original.
    For example, if you want to center and print 8-1/2 11 (A4) size data on 11 17 (A3) sized paper, create data with the "8-1/2 11W" ("A4W") size, and then, using the printer driver, set [Paper Size:] to [8-1/2 11W] ([A4W]) and specify the paper tray to be used as [Paper Tray].
    On this machine, load 11 17 (A3-size) paper into the required tray, and check the paper size as follows.
    Select the tray in [Paper] for the copy mode. Then, check that [Auto Detect] is selected in [Paper Size] and 11 17 (A3) is displayed when [8-1/2 11W] ([A4W]) is specified in [Wide Paper] on the tray setting change screen.
    If 12 18 paper is loaded, select [12 18] in [Paper Size].
    To print data on custom-size paper, use one of Tray 1, Tray 2, and Bypass Tray. Then, select [8-1/2 11W] ([A4W]) in [Wide Paper] on the tray setting change screen, and enter the desired paper size in [Change Size].

  • [Paper Size] and [Orientation] can also be specified in the Print window.
