small, non-standard paper sizes and the "paper size check" setting on the 4800

2005-11-29 by rgoldman2

A few days ago I responded to a question (message 70525) regarding how to make small 
test prints on the Epson 4800. I mentioned a "paper size check" feature that had to be 
reset to "off"from it's default "on" setting. Here's how to do it:

Press the Menu button twice. That takes you to "platen gap". Now press the down arrow 
five times. That takes you to "paper size check". Press menu and toggle the setting to "off". 
Now the printer will allow you to feed a smaller piece of paper than the standard paper 
size that you have entered in the printer set-up. Put the paper in the far right hand of the 
printer tray. Uncheck "centered", and enter the coordinates that will put the print in the 
upper left corner of the paper it thinks it is printing on. Orient the image so that it will 
print fully on the paper you are feeding. And print.
