Go to File » Print - you will see the Print Preview screen.
Notice how the preview does not look right. We have to go to
the printer properties and set a custom paper size to complete
our setup.
Click the Page Setup button at the bottom.
The Page Setup dialog box will
appear.
Click the Printer button at bottom right.
When
this dialog box appears, make sure you have the right printer chosen
and then click the Properties button near the top right.
The Canon driver dialog box
now appears.
Click on the Page Setup tab
Click on the Page Size drop down menu and
scroll to the bottom of the list where you will see a selection "Custom..."
- click it.
This dialog will appear.
Using the chart below:
1) Fill in paper width
2) Fill in paper height
Paper Size
Height
Width
7x10
10"
7"
6.25x9
9"
6.25"
5.5x8.5
8.5"
5.5"
3) Click OK
NOTE! Canon does not offer
a feature to save custom paper sizes for future use. You will need
to do this step each time you print custom cards.
Click the OK
button until you are back to this screen.
Notice that the custom paper size we just
made is now selected as the paper size by Photoshop.
Note: For the vertical open card
of any size, make sure orientation is set to PORTRAIT. If not, you
will notice that the Print with Preview will look wrong. If so, click
Page Setup again and fix the orientation.
Now click OK
We are back at Print with
Preview again.
Notice that the preview screen looks like
the printed card should - the excessive white space is gone.
You can now click print and proceed as normal.
Note: Before
you start printing on our pre-scored cards, try a test print on plain
paper. Just cut some copy paper to the correct size for test sheets.
Congratulations! You have set up and printed a Red River
Paper greeting cards.
