Title: Custom Paper Size
Post by: dannac on August 17, 2017, 10:12:17 AM
Canon Pro 100
Would like to cut a 13 x 19 sheet in half giving me 13 x 9.5.

Is it possible to set a custom paper size in QU ?
or
paper sizes strictly determined by printer ?

Paper sizer is determined by the printer driver. Qimage determines the Print size
Qimage will show you the list of sizes that are recognized and offered by the driver.
If 13 x 9.5 is not in that list, (we expected that), then open the driver by clicking on PROPERTIES button.
Then select Custom size in "Printer paper size"
Then type in 13.0 x 9.5.
Done.
OK out
Remember to save it as a printer setup so you don't have to do it every time.

Hi Fred

Just getting around to trying to setup  a custom paper size in canon driver properties.

Do not see the "custom" option you mentioned.

Easy one.
Remove the checkmark from BORDERLESS

See screen snaps..

All should be good.   Just remember, this is paper size, not print size.

Let us know that you have it "nailed"
