SUMMARY

In some programs, you can specify a custom page size in the Page Setup dialog box for the Apple ImageWriter, the ImageWriter II, or the ImageWriter LQ.

If you are using a page width that is greater than 8.5 inches, the orientation must be set to Landscape. To set the custom page size in applications that support this feature, do the following:

On the File menu, click Page Setup.
Click the Custom Page Size button.
Enter the height and width that you want to use.

NOTE: While in landscape mode, height and width are reversed. So, for example, to get a width of 85 inches, you would enter 85 in the Height box.
