Tips
  • [12 by 18] in [Paper Size:] is equivalent to 304.8 by 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 by 11 (A4) size data on 11 by 17 (A3) sized paper, create data with the "8-1/2 by 11W" ("A4W") size, and then, using the printer driver, set [Paper Size:] to [8-1/2 by 11W] ([A4W]) and specify the paper tray to be used as [Paper Tray].
    On this machine, load 11 by 17 (A3) 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 Setting] - [Wide Paper], specify [8-1/2 by 11W] ([A4W]) and make sure that the [Paper Size] is set to [Auto Detect] and 11 by 17 (A3) is displayed.
    If 12 by 18 paper is loaded, select [12 by 18] for [Paper Size].
    To print on custom sized paper, use the Bypass Tray. In [Change Tray Setting] - [Wide Paper], select [8-1/2 by 11W] ([A4W]), and enter the paper size to use in [Change Size].

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