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. 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.

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 application program.

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 11-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.
