Xerox copier - Printing on 7" x 10" notecards
This page covers how to print on the Syracuse Architecture 7x10" notecards.
Settings on the copier
- Before sending the print, load the notecard in Tray 5 (Bypass) on the left side of the copier.
- Load the side you want to print on face down (it will print on the underside).
- Load the notecard long-edge first so that the 10" side feeds into the printer.
- When you load the paper, the screen will prompt you to confirm the paper settings.
- For size, pick JIS B5 (182x257), which is equivalent to 7x10".
- For type, pick Heavyweight.
- Color can be left at White.
- Click Confirm when done.
Settings on your computer
- On your computer, print only PDFs (convert to PDF before you send the print). Don't print directly from Microsoft Word.
- Open the PDF in Acrobat and bring up the Print dialog box.
- After choosing the copier, set the following:
- Actual size
- enable 'Choose paper source by PDF page size'
- Auto portrait/landscape
- Click Properties to bring up the Xerox settings window.
- Under the Print Options tab > Paper section, click the drop down arrow.
- For Other Size, choose Fit to New Paper Size > JIS B5 (182 x 257 mm).
- For Other Type, choose Heavyweight. Basically the idea is to match the settings you chose on the copier in Step 4 above.
- Now send the print. The paper should automatically feed into the printer. It should exit the printer on the right side.
- The copier may prompt you to select the correct paper size; if it does pick JIS B5 (swipe down as it's on second page).
Troubleshooting
- If the paper does not get pulled in, double check the settings.
- If you need to print on both sides, send each side as a separate print job. Don't use auto-duplex (double-sided printing) with cardstock.
