Getting
ready to print
Choose File » Print
You will see the print dialog.
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.
Make sure your printer is chosen in the Printer drop down menu at the top center of the dialog.
Now locate and click the Printer Preferences button in the Color Management section (middle right of the dialog) |
 |
Start by setting the media type, print quality, and color management options.
Details regarding these settings are included with your paper. You can learn more about color management here. |
 |
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" |
| 8x9 Pano |
9" |
8" |
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 OK when you are satisfied the printer property settings are as you wish |
We are back at the Print dialog screen again.
IMPORTANT: For
the traditional 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.
Notice that the preview screen looks like
the printed card should - the excessive white space is gone. |
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.
Click the PRINT button to begin printing
Congratulations! You have set up and printed a Red River
Paper greeting card.
