Question - Printing 2-up on 11x17
This is sort of a generic answer to your question, as I don't have a Canon
printer and you didn't say what operating ystem you are using. Usually when you select FilePrint you get a screen which allows you to select the printer to use. On that screen you will also fins a button labeled "Preferences" or or "Properties" or "Print Options." If you click that button you will get another screen, usually with several tabs at the top. On one of those tabs you shopuld find a selection for "Number of pages per sheet" or "Multiple pages per sheet." There is also the possibility that you have a primitive driver loaded for your printer. Some versions of Windoze have drivers that don't support all of the options of a printer. If the above solution doesn't work, check Canon's website for an updated driver for your printer and OS. Don -- Experience is what lets you recognize a mistake when you make it again.

Question - Printing 2-up on 11x17 This is probably a simple-minded question, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to print two 8-1/2 x 11 pages 2-up on a 11 x 17 sheet. I've looked thru all the options in the print menu and can't figure it out. I'm using Pagemaker 7.0 and a Cannon BJC-5100 that takes 11x17. Also tried it using Acrobat 5.0. I doubt that the application is the problem, though. To be sure I'm getting my question across, here's a poor-man's illustration shoing how I want it to come out: ------ 17" -------- ---------------------------------------- | | | | ^ | | | | | | Page 1 | | Page 2 | 11" | 8.5x11 | | 8.5x 11 | | | | | | v ---------------------------------------- Thanks!

Fred When you define the page that you will be using in Pagemaker, you tell it an orientation and a size. It is trivial to set an 11" x 17" paper into two 8.5" x 11" sections and put your pages there. You can even set up a new document and put the pages down on this large paper by cut and paste. You may find it beneficial to group everything on the old file pages to make it easy to position the pasted elements easily and precisely. The mistake is not composing to the printer. RTFM and you may get the clue that you are better off composing for a printer. Jim -- ................................ Keepsake gift for young girls. Unique and personal one-of-a-kind.
