Page Size

Use the Page Setup dialog box to set up the size and orientation of your document. Options are independent of the printer-they describe your "design space," or how big you want the pages of your document to be. The paper sizes RSG supports are listed in the following table:

US Sizes
US Letter 8.5" by 11"
US Legal 8.5" by 14"
Tabloid 11" by 17"

European Sizes
A3 29.7 cm by 42.0 cm
A4 21.0 cm by 29.7 cm
A5 14.8 cm by 21.0 cm
B5 17.6 cm by 25.0 cm

Custom Size
With the Custom option, you specify the horizontal and vertical dimensions of the paper. Maximum size is 99 inches by 99 inches (251.46 cm by 251.46 cm).

Printer Setup

Page size, paper size, and print area are not necessarily the same! You can specify and work with any page size (Page Setup dialog box), but you still need to work within a printer's ability to print in the print area on a certain size of paper (Printer Setup dialog box). However, you can use the Tiling option to print portions of a large page on smaller paper sizes, and then assemble the larger page.

Use the Printer Setup dialog box to set up the size and orientation of the paper in your printer. If the paper size is larger than the page size of the document, RSG will center the document on the page. If the document page size is larger, Ready,Set,Go! will warn you that the page may be cropped on the printer.

Don't change the Scale option to over 100% unless you're sure that everything on your page will still fit within the print area. You can see the print area on your page (unless Tiling is selected) by selecting Print Area in the Document menu Preferences/General dialog box.
