Back at the Print Setup menu, you should see the new paper size selected in the Size drop down menu as seen below. If not, go back to Properties and make sure you choose the new size as seen above.
Next, verify that the custom size is selected in the Select Paper Size drop down menu.
Uncheck the Print Borderless box.
You can now click the Print Now button. If you have not printed a card yet, the program will probably ask you to do a print configuration. Make sure to load plain sheets of paper before proceeding. Once completed you should not be asked to do this task again.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
If your card is not coming out correctly take a look at the following:
1) Go back into the printer properties and check your user defined paper size. It is critical this be set to the exact note card size you are using. The smaller dimension is the width. The longer dimension is the height.
2) Go back to the card setup menu. Make sure that you have left at least a 1/8" margin on all sides of the card. You will have to eyeball the distance. We recommend more space, not less, to make sure your card is not cut off by the printer's margins.
