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
CCoonnffiirrmm on this window. If you loaded a different size paper, touch CChhaannggee SSeettttiinnggss and enter the new stock
properties - Size, Type, and Weight.
