xpfguy 39 Posted January 1, 2011 Why is custom size not a selectable choice in my print dialog? should it be? all other options are available, but not that one. Jason Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NiteWalker 10 Posted January 1, 2011 In the printer settings (the pop up menu when you print), under paper size choose "user defined". You should then be able to enter a custom size for the paper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xpfguy 39 Posted January 1, 2011 i noticed that i get a different print window when i'm in Illustrator vs. other apps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NiteWalker 10 Posted January 2, 2011 I noticed that as well; what you have to do is, outside of illustrator, in the WF1100 settings menu (right click on the taskbar icon-->Printer Settings), change the default size to your custom size there. Then in illustrator, when you hit print, make sure the right printer is selected, click on the size tab and scroll down to user defined. It will change to whatever you set in the printer settings menu outside of illustrator. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
screenprintr 319 Posted January 4, 2011 Have any of you use the WF 1100 to print large paper like 11 x 17" ? Any luck? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NiteWalker 10 Posted January 4, 2011 I can try a sheet later since I'll have to cut it from a roll. Are you having trouble with the 11x17 size? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alien 11 Posted January 4, 2011 yep! I have 13" x 19" paper that I have used several times. Your print setup menu lets you select the size of your paper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
screenprintr 319 Posted January 5, 2011 Yes, I'm having a problem with the 11 x 17 feeding threw. The WF 1100 only has one roller so the large papers get stuck or jam. Were you able to test it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CollinJ 3 Posted January 5, 2011 Yes, I'm having a problem with the 11 x 17 feeding threw. The WF 1100 only has one roller so the large papers get stuck or jam. Were you able to test it? hmm thats odd. The only time I ever had an issue was when I asked my girlfriend to load up more paper and she put way to much in haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
screenprintr 319 Posted January 6, 2011 I only put a few pieces and left the room to do something. When I can back the printer was blinking and the paper was all crumbed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alien 11 Posted January 6, 2011 I only put a few pieces and left the room to do something. When I can back the printer was blinking and the paper was all crumbed. Only time I have that problem is when the side guide is a little too tight and won't let both edges of the paper sit on the bottom of the feed tray. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr300s 1,272 Posted January 6, 2011 It's says to only load 1 sheet at a time. I have done over a hundred of them not 1 jam Well I take that back one time I left the door shut and the paper got stuck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XLII-Guy 8 Posted January 6, 2011 one time I left the door shut and the paper got stuck Doh!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
screenprintr 319 Posted January 6, 2011 I'll have to check the side guide and see what you're talking about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NiteWalker 10 Posted January 6, 2011 Yep, you want it to be just a bit loose. So the paper can lay flat and still have a tiny space between the edge of the paper and the left guide. I've already left the front tray closed too. I catch it in time though; the printer is right next to my desk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
