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 software as
described below to get the right results.
1. When you install software, 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.
2 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 standard 8½ x 11-inch paper, set the lines
per page to 61.
Note:
To find the right lines-per-page setting for paper that is not 8½ x
11, create a test document using your software. Set your top and
bottom margins to 0 and then create a file of numbered lines from
1 to 66. When you print your file, notice the last number printed
on the first 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 a
standard 8½ x 11l-inch page, try setting the form length at
10 inches.
5.
Some programs also let you indicate whether you are using
single sheets or continuous paper. Make sure you choose
single sheets.
