Very large banner on a DesighJet 800 from Publisher

[RogerBEverett]

We have an HP DesignJet plotter that can print up to 42 inches wide. I am
wanting to print a long banner, (up to 10 feet) that is 36 or 42 inches wide.
When I try to do a page setup I am limited to printing only 44 inched wide
and 34 inches high. I can make a banner of this size but when I do a print
preview it will show several "sheets" that will have to be put together. How
do I set up a Publisher Template to print very large banners on the DesighJet
800?

If you select your plotter and all the page properties as default before you
open publisher it is easier to set the page size. When you get to the point
where you see all the separate sheets, there should be a choice to change
the number of pages per sheet and the spacing in between. I really must write
it down, because I go through the same thing too. Reprolady

This doesn't work if the pages are larger than 48", as they will always
tile, regardless of paper size. This is a hard-coded limitation.
