Setting up your Printer with Windows VISTA
 

1- Select Start Control Panel Printers
 
 
2- Select Organize, Layout, and Menu Bar
 
3- With the menu bar selected the File menu becomes visible.
 
4- Select File, Run as administrator  and then Server Properties
 
You should see a page that looks like this...
 
Now, select the Create a new Form Check Box and describe the form and edit the paper size like this...
 

You can change the description and form size depending on the capabilities of your printer driver, (if the size you choose exceeds the capability of your printer then the description will not become available in the next steps.)

Some printer manufacturers have issued new drivers that have less flexibility for paper size, for example the Driver for the Epson LQ 570+ will work for both the Epson LQ570+ and the Epson LQ 570e and the Epson LQ1070+ works better than the 2080 for the wide carriage printer. Okidata ML320 TURBO is also used a lot.

If your form is longer than 22 inches, you can install the printer driver of a IBM Proprinter III, (make sure the printer is in the IBM ppr emulation mode), Make the width 8.0 in and the length as long as your longest form.

After you have selected your form size click the Save Form Button.

 
 
 
Now you can click OK and exit this menu, Select the printer you are using and right click the icon so you can select Properties, Click on the general Tab...
 
Click the Printing preferences button...
 

And now click the Advanced Button...

The choice you created should be visible...
 
Select it and click OK Twice
Now select the advanced Tab and select the Printing Defaults button
 
Now click the advanced tab...
 
Again the form you created should be available in the dropdown...
 
Now select the Device settings Tab and select your custom paper settings
for all the paper feeders and bins...
 
 
After clicking OK your printer should be able to print the long contracts as well as the short
 

ones.
Finally it's very important that this printer remains the default printer in your printers group
you should not have to select this printer before printing. If you set another printer as the default printer

you may have to repeat these steps again.
