Tips
  • [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 size data on 11 17 sized paper, create data with the "8-1/2 11W" size, and then, using the printer driver, set [Paper Size:] to [8-1/2 11W] and specify the paper tray to be used as [Paper Tray].
    On this machine, load 11 17 size paper into the tray to use, and check the paper size as follows.
    Select the tray in [Paper] for the copy mode. Select [Change Tray Settings] - [Wide Paper], specify [8-1/2 11W] and make sure that the [Paper Size] is set to [Auto Detect] and 11 17 is displayed.
    If you have loaded the 12-1/4 18 papers, you must set the [Paper Size] to [12-1/4 18].
    To print on custom sized paper, use the Bypass Tray. In [Change Tray Settings] - [Wide Paper], select [8-1/2 11W], and enter the paper size to use in [Change Size].
  • In Mac OS X 10.5/10.6/10.7, you can also configure [Paper Size] and [Orientation] in the Print window.
