To begin, create a new custom mat that’s set for letter size or A4 or whatever size your printout will be.
Refer to Section 3.04 if you need instructions for creating a custom mat. Uncheck the Margins box. For
letter size, make the Width 11” and the Height 8.5”. For A4, set the Width to 11.69” and the Height to
8.27”.
Since you are reading the Portrait Mode Option section of the user manual, set the Virtual Mat to Portrait
and select your new custom mat.

Notice that the arrow is pointing to the right on the screen. Make sure your arrow is also pointed to the right!
