• Printing the job
Print the file first with no trim to see how much trim is needed to achieve a full bleed of page images.
1. If needed, load the paper into a press tray. If you want the finished size to be 8.5 x 11 in., A4, you
can load 12 x 18 in., A3 paper and impose two 8.5 x 11 in. images onto each side of the sheets.
This provides an edge around the images for trimming. If you load 11 x 17 in. paper, you can still
impose two 8.5 x 11 in. images onto each side of sheets, but after the edges are trimmed the
resulting size will be less than 8.5 x 11 in.
2. If you loaded paper in a tray, the Tray window opens on the press UI. If you loaded the same size
paper, touch Confirm on this window. If you loaded a different size paper, touch Change
Settings and enter the new stock properties - Size, Type, and Weight.
3. Submit the job file to the print server Hold queue.
4. At the print server, double-click the job to open its Properties.
5. On the Quick Access tab, enter the Paper size and Paper source (where you loaded the paper)

6. On the Media tab, for 2-sided, select Top-top if printing on 2 sides of the paper. For 1-sided
printing, leave the setting Off.

to be trimmed.
