To change the paper size, select the Paper size list box. The page sizes range from envelopes to large E size pages. Also, included is a user-definable variable page size. The page size can be specified in increments of 0.01 inch, 0.1 mm, or a pixel. There are 45 Standard paper sizes, 36 Advanced paper sizes, as well as 3 Black Ice Software specific paper sizes such as FAX paper size, VARIABLE paper size and VARIABLE paper size specified in pixels.
The “VARIABLE paper size” is specified by 0.01 inch or 0.1 mm. The formula to compute between mm and pixels is mm = pixel x 254/DPI or pixel = mm x DPI/254.
The “VARIABLE paper size specified in pixels” can be any size in the boundary of the Microsoft environment with a maximum width and height of 65535 x 65535 pixels. The DPI information will be ignored.
Please Note:
The “VARIABLE paper size specified in pixels” is a special case. Normally, page size times DPI is equal to the image size in pixels. With the “VARIABLE paper size specified in pixels” setting, the image size in pixels is absolute and the DPI can be set arbitrarily. The “VARIABLE paper size specified in pixels” setting can be very useful in web and graphic applications where the physical size of the image is the preeminent factor.
Edit Paper list - this option enables customization of the list of the paper sizes used by the EMF Printer Driver. The user can add new paper sizes, modify the name, size or availability of existing paper sizes.
Add new- Adds a new paper size to the list of the already existing paper sizes.
Modify - Use this option to modify the parameters of the selected paper. The user can change the name of the paper which is shown in the paper selection list, the width and height of the paper, the availability of the paper and also the paper size can be marked as Advanced paper.
Enter the name of the paper. This is what will be listed in the paper sizes combo box. Specify the width and the height of the paper. The numbers you enter to the paper width and paper height can be specified using different units: 0.01 Inches, 0.1 Millimeters or Pixels. Please note that the printer driver can store the paper size in pixels or 0.1 millimeters. If you specify the paper size in 0.01 inches, due to the conversion the actual size of the image may be slightly different. The difference can be maximum 0.1 mm.
Advanced paper size: if checkbox is enabled, the paper size will only appear in the ‘Page’ dropdown list if ‘Advanced Papersize’ is also enabled on the Device Settings tab.
The “Available” checkbox if checked will list the paper in the list of the papers. If you need to remove a paper from the list of the papers shown by the printer driver, we recommend un-checking this checkbox rather than permanently deleting the paper from the list.
Delete - Deletes the selected paper. Once a paper was deleted, it must be added again to the list of the papers by using the Add button. To temporarily remove a paper from the list of the paper sizes, we recommend make it UNAVAILABLE by unchecking the Available checkbox
Paper Sizes Supported -The following page sizes are pre-defined in the printer driver. Special paper sizes for label printers are also supported ( see Avery paper sizes). You can add additional paper sizes, delete existing ones or redefine papers using the Edit Paper Size option.
