STEP 4 - CUSTOM PAPER SIZE

Most recent driver versions look like this in Advanced Mode**.

Find the drop down menu that has paper sizes. Look near the bottom of the list for a selection called User Defined. Click on it.

**If you are in Basic mode, look for a button near the bottom right to get to this screen.

Check the image at right for the order you will follow to make a custom paper size:

Using the chart below:
1) Fill in paper width
2) Fill in paper height

3) Name your size - call it something that is easily recognizable

4) Click the Save button

5) Click OK

You now have a permanently saved custom paper size that will appear in your list of paper sizes.

NOTE! The units of width and height are in .01 inches! Make sure to keep this in mind when entering the dimensions.

Back at your printer properties dialog box, click on the Page Layout tab.

Click the CENTERED and MINIMIZE MARGINS boxes.

Epson printers tend to want to force an 1/2" margin at the end of the print. This interferes with some card setups using larger images.

Make media and quality selections on the MAIN tab then Click OK

Note: Some printers may not have these settings. Make sure to check and select these if you have them available.

STEP 5 - PRINTING

Notice that the preview screen looks like the printed card should - the excessive white space is gone.

NOTE! Make sure orientation is set to PORTRAIT. If not, you will notice that the Print with Preview will look wrong.

You can now click print and proceed as normal. You may see this warning - if so simply click proceed.

Congratulations! You have set up and printed a Red River Paper greeting cards.
