Continuous Printing

[Dorci]

I'm printing a very large project on a wide-format printer that uses roll
paper. Can I tell Project to print as long (or as wide) as necessary without
cutting the paper? Currently, I have to tape together three 34"x44" sheets.
Thanks in advance.

Windows printers do not support continuous printing. You must define a page
size before printing. However, with the roll feed plotters you can define a
page larger than 34"x44". You do this one of two ways depending on your
particular printer. One is to select the larger page size in the Page Size
drop down list. Go to File-Page Setup or File-Print, select your roll feed
printer and choose Properties. Look for the Page Size drop down list and
select a size such as 36"x108" or 36"x96". If you don't see these choices
you will have to define a custom page size first. In the Properties area for
your printer look for a way to define a "Custom Page Size". When defining a
custom size there is a maximum length of 108" or something close to that
(try sticking with 36"x108"). Once you define the custom size you should be
able to select it in the Page Size drop down list.

Hope this helps.
