0010 - How to print to non-letter-sized paper from Windows

If you are having problems getting your files to print on 11 x 17 or 12 x 18 using the COD DOC Color Printer, please read the following instructions. There is an extra area where the page size needs to be chosen.

1. Open your file.

2. Choose PAGE SETUP from the FILE menu.

3. Select your page size.

4. Click the "Printer" button.

5. Choose the printer you want from the pull down menu. For the color printer in 426, select "COD DOC Color Printer". (Select \\00gw01\lab_printer_1 for the black and white printer).

6. Click the "Properties" button once you have selected the printer.

7. From the Properties window, click the "Paper/Layout" tab.

8. Click the "Advanced" button.

9. In the Paper field, select your page size from the pull-down menu.

10. Click the "OK" button in each of the dialogs.

11. From the FILE menu, select PRINT WITH PREVIEW in Photoshop (all others should be either PRINT or PLOT). Make sure that the preview matches what you chose for a paper size. Click the PRINT button to print.

12. Go to room 426 and fill out a Color Printer form to have the lab monitors release your color job. You will need Cy-Cash on your ISU ID card to pay for your prints. You are responsible for all file related errors, including wrong paper or image sizes.
