Use different paper check box
To select different media for the first page of a print job, follow these steps:
1.
Click File, click Print, and then click Properties. The Document Propertiesdialog box appears.
2.
Click the Paper/Quality tab, and then select the Use different paper check box.
3.
Click the First Page selection. In the Size is:, Source is:, and Type is: drop-down menus, select the size,
source, and type settings for your cover.
Size is: drop-down menu
This feature actually functions as two controls: a drop-down menu that contains all of the the supported media sizes
(including any user-defined custom sizes) and a text label that indicates the dimensions of the selected size.
Moving the pointer over the text label causes the arrow to change to a gloved hand, indicating that the area beneath
the pointer is selectable. Clicking here toggles the units of measure between inches and millimeters, offering the same
options on the dimensions label in the preview image. Selecting a new size from the drop-down menu updates the
media-dimensions text label as well as the preview image.
You can specify size only for the first page or for all of the pages. On the Other Pages and Back Cover group boxes,
the Size is drop-down menu does not appear because the media size must be consistent for all of the pages of the
job. Certain software programs can override this command and specify different media sizes within a single document.
Any change in the media size selection causes the Booklet Printing feature to be turned off.
