7 For Windows 2000 and XP, in the Printers folder, highlight your printer by clicking it once. Go
to File
Printing Preferences.
8 In Printing Preferences, select the Paper tab.
9 For PostScript drivers for Windows 2000 and XP, select your custom form from the list under
Form Type.
For PCL Drivers for Windows 2000 and XP, select your custom form from the list under Form
Size.
10 Open your program and print your document.
Notes:
• Some programs may override your print settings. As a result, you must configure your
program’s settings to accommodate your custom form. See your program’s reference
materials for information on how to change your program’s settings.
• Selecting your custom form in Printing Preferences is recommended for using your newly
created form in a program. However, this makes the new form the default for all programs that
do not override the printer driver’s selected paper size. To reset the default form size, enter
Printing Preferences again and set the form size to the desired type.
• If you are working on a network, only an administrator can create a new form on the server. In
a client server architecture, once the new form has been placed on the server, the client’s
printer objects (installed through Point and Print) receive the custom form from the server.
• Some changes may not immediately appear in a program’s copy of the driver. As a result, it
may be necessary to close and reopen the program so that any changes to the driver’s
settings may be displayed.
