Page Setup Tab Description

The Page Setup tab allows you to determine how a document is to be arranged on the paper. Also, this tab allows you to set the number of copies and the order of printing. If the application which created the document has a similar function, set them with the application.

Settings Preview
The paper illustration shows how the original will be laid out on a sheet of paper.
You can check an overall image of the layout.
Page Size
Selects a page size.
Ensure that you select the same page size as you selected within the application.
If you select Custom..., the Custom Paper Size dialog box opens and allows you to specify any vertical and horizontal dimensions for the paper size.
Printer Paper Size
Selects the size of paper actually loaded into the printer.
Normally, it will appear as Same as Page Size, and the document is printed with no scaling.
If you select a paper size that is smaller than the Page Size, the document size will be reduced. If you select a paper size that is larger, the document size will be enlarged.
Also if you select Custom..., the Custom Paper Size dialog box opens and allows you to specify any vertical and horizontal dimensions for the paper size.
Copies
Specifies the number of copies you want to print.
Print from Last Page
To print the pages in order, printing will begin from the last page.
Collate
When printing multiple copies, the default behavior is to print all copies of page 1 first, then all copies of page 2, and so on. If you check the Collate check box, each copy will be printed in order from the first to the last page.

Important

  • When the application software that you used to create the document has the same function, give priority to the Canon Print Assistant settings. However, if the print results are not acceptable, specify the function settings on the application software. When you specify the number of copies and the printing order with both the application and this Canon Print Assistant, the number of copies may be multiplied numbers of the two settings or the specified printing order may not be enabled.
Orientation
Selects the printing orientation.
Rotate 180 degrees
Prints the document by rotating it 180 degrees against the paper feed direction.
The width of print area and the amount of extension that are configured in other application software will be reversed vertically and horizontally.
Borderless Printing
Performs borderless printing without any margins on the paper.
In borderless printing, originals are enlarged to extend slightly off the paper. Thus, printing can be performed without any margins (border).
Amount of Extension
Adjusts how much of the document extends off the paper during borderless printing.
Moving the slider to the right increases the amount of extension and allows you to perform borderless printing with no problems.
Moving the slider to the left reduces the amount of extension and expands the range of the document to print.

Important

  • When the amount of extension is decreased, an unexpected margin may be produced on the print, depending on the size of the paper.

Note

  • Depending on your printer model, borderless printing may not be available.
  • Depending on your printer model, Amount of Extension may not be displayed.
