Defining and printing custom page sizes
Defining and printing custom page sizes
With custom page sizes, you can define the dimensions of a printed page. After you
define a custom page size, you can use it from within an application without redefining
it each time you print. When you create custom page sizes, specify Width dimensions
to correspond with the shorter side of your job and specify Height dimensions to
correspond with the longer side of your print job. Set custom page sizes this way,
regardless of the orientation settings in the application.
