* These applications allow for tiling of print pages, therefore allowing you to print beyond the printers maximum page length limit and print to the applications limits. The printer driver must be set for Roll Paper (Banner) mode so that page breaks at the printer’s maximum page length do not occur (in essence gives you a 0 margin for the bottom of the page). The Stylus Pro 5000/5500 however will give a slight page break at the 44 inch limit as these printers do not support banner mode.
For Windows Users, if you encounter partial/incomeplete prints while having Finest Detail enabled, please disable this setting. It is recommended for low resolution text and line art to sharpen their edges. For photos, this may create a massive print file that is too large for the printer driver to process correctly. The following examples show how to setup banner printing from Adobe Illustrator 8.x/9.x and CorelDRAW 9 from the PC platform.
Adobe Illustrator CS: In this example, we are creating a banner, which is 227 inches (Illustrators max. page setup). NOTE: Mac O/S 10.3.3 system is used in this example. Windows versions of this application should be very similar in functionality. Please refer to your software documentation for additional assistance. In this example, a “20 inches wide X 180 inches high” document is created. 1. Click on File and New, set up the width and height (sample shows 20 W x 180 H), then click OK. 2.
3. Click on File, Print, click Setup, under Tiling click on the drop down arrow, select Tile Full 4. Pages and click the Printer button. 5. When the printer setup window comes up, select your printer name and set the Roll Paper Options to: Roll Paper Banner Roll Paper Banner – No Margin ( if printing no margins) 6. In the Copies and Pages section, click on the drop down arrow, select Roll Paper Option. Uncheck Auto Cut then check Save Roll Paper.
. Then click on Print. This will bring you back to the Print window. 8. This time click on Page Setup, you see the following screen, just click on Continue (If you don’t want to see the window again, place a check mark on Don’t Show Again box).
9. When Page Setup is open, click on the down arrow for Custom Paper Size. NOTE: When creating the custom page size, divide the banner size by a value that will make it less than the printer maximum custom page size (90.5 inches). In this example we take (180/2 = 90), therefore the custom page size created would be 20x90 (inches). 10. Click on New, name the custom size (i.e.
11. Under Paper Size, click on the drop down arrow and select the custom paper size you created (i.e. 20 X 180) orientation is set to portrait mode. Then click OK. 12. In the Print windows the preview pane will show 2 grids or pages. This indicates that a full image is tiled.
13. Click on General, then click the square on Reverse Order. 4. Click on Print.
NOTE 1: When enabled, the first page will be printed first, instead of the last page first. Or Change the orientation to “Reverse”, then you don’t have to check the “Reverse Order”. NOTE 2: Always select the custom page size last, if not, it will default to other paper sizes. NOTE 3: Before printing a large document, make sure you have enough ink to prevent getting an Ink Out message, causing the print job to stop and not completing the entire print.
Adobe Illustrator 8.x/9.x: In this example, we are creating a banner, which is 227 inches (Illustrators max. page setup). 1. Launch Illustrator and open or place your file in the page layout. 2.

When creating the custom page size, divide the banner size by a value that will make it less than the printer maximum custom page size. In this example we take (227/3 = 75.7), therefore the custom page size created would be 44x75.7 inches. The reason for this is to save media.
8. After setting the custom page size and other driver settings (media type, resolution, etc.), click OK. This will bring you back to the document setup. Now double-click the “Page” tool. 9. The page should now show the following. 10. At this point you can and resize the image to fit within the printable area and print.

After setting the custom page size and other driver settings (media type, resolution, etc.), click OK. This will bring you back to the document.
8. At this point, click File then Print. CorelDRAW will then run a pre-flight check and will show the following window.
9. Click on the Layout Tab and enable Print Tiled Pages and set any additional parameters as you see fit. 10. At this point you could check other tab settings (if necessary) and click Print Preview (recommended) if you want to see how the file will be printed or Print to output the file to your printer. For all other applications, please refer to your software documentation for information on maximum custom page sizes for documents, banners or tiling prints.
