Tips
for
Printing
on
Single Sheets
There are a few things you should know about printing on single
sheets as opposed to continuous paper. When you print on single
sheets, you may notice that your printer prints the first page of your
file correctly but then prints too low on the next page, or that it
prints the last few lines from one page onto the next.
These differences in print position are easy to adjust; you can simply
change some of the settings in your application program as
described below to get the right results.
1.
2.
When you install an application program, it normally asks
you what printer you are using. Make sure you choose the
correct printer. See Chapter 1 for the right printer to choose.
Many programs include an option to set the maximum lines
per page. If your program has a lines-per-page setting and
you are using
8.5x11-inch paper, set the lines per page to
61;
for
A4,
try
65.
Note:

not
8.5~11,
create a test document using your application program. Set your
top
and bottom margins to 0
and then

to
66.
When you print
yourfile,
notice the last number printed on
thefirst
page. This is your maximum lines-per-page setting.
3.
If your program doesn’t have a lines-per-page setting, try
decreasing the top margin or increasing the bottom margin,
or both, until you get the results you want.
4.
You can also try adjusting the form length setting. For an
8.5x11-inch page, try setting the form length at
10
inches
(10.5
inches for
A4).
5.
Some programs also let you indicate whether you are using
single sheets or continuous paper. Make sure you choose
single sheets.
