For most applications, when the original file is printed, the paper size is part of the information beings sent to TIFF Image Printer. Therefore, we would recommend adding a custom paper form and selecting that paper size in the application before printing. That said, there are some instances where you may need to override the paper size within TIFF Image Printer, such as when printing oil well logs.
All settings to override paper size are controlled through the profile. Note that configuring a custom paper size within the profile will override any other paper size selection that you have set on the application.
Step by Step Instructions
1.Launch the TIFF Image Printer Dashboard.
2.Select "Edit & Create Profiles" to open Profile Manager.
3.Select "Add a profile" to create a personal profile, or create a copy of one of our system profiles.
4.Name the profile, add a description, and click Save.
5.On the Printer Overrides tab, under Force Paper Size, enable Use the following form or custom paper size.
6.Enter the desired Width and Height for the custom paper size, or use the Copy Paper Size button to copy the dimensions from our list of standard paper sizes. Dimensions for Paper Size are entered based on a portrait oriented page. You can change the units by selecting Settings from the top right hand corner of the Profile Manager window, and toggling between inches (in) and centimeters (cm).
7.Click Save-Back, and close Profile Manager.
If you plan to use these settings regularly, you may wish to make this personal profile the default profile used by TIFF Image Printer.
i.Select the printer you wish to edit and use the Profile drop box to select your desired default profile.
ii.Select "Manage Printers" to open Printer Management.
iii.Select the Save icon to save changes.
iv.Select the Home icon to return to the Dashboard.
