If the Layouts that come with Dynodex do not print in the format you need, you may wish to create a custom form. You can do this using "Form Setup".
Form vs. Paper:
A "Form" can be an address page, a label, an envelope, or a rolodex card. It is the final item that you wish to create. In contrast, the "Paper" is the item you feed into the printer, from which the form is derived. For example, one sheet of 106 Dynodex Paper is called the "Paper", and from that Paper, you get 3 forms (i.e., 3 address pages).
IMPORTANT NOTE: Most users should not need to use "Form Setup". We have provided you with several pre-set layouts that print the most commonly used address pages, labels, rolodex cards, and envelope sizes. Only those who need a custom address page or envelope size, for example, and who are willing to experiment, should even bother to use "Form Setup".
ANOTHER IMPORTANT NOTE: If you don't find a pre-set layout for the address book or label you need, check first on the Dynodex program disk for additional layouts that you can copy into your "Dynodex Layouts" folder. If what you need is not there, check with our electronic mail forums or call us to see if we've created a custom form that will work for you.
"Form Setup" Dialog:
• Form Size: The width and length of the form you are printing.
• Form Margins: The left, right, top, and bottom margins for each individual form.
• Form Layout: The number of forms across and down a page.
• Spacing: The space between the right edge of one form and the left edge of the next form or between the bottom edge of one form and the top edge of the next form.
• Paper Size: The width and length of the entire sheet you are printing on. If you are printing to Dynodex Paper, this would be the width and length of one Dynodex sheet.
• Paper Margins: The left/right, and top/bottom margins of the entire sheet you are printing on. Since most printers can only print to within 0.25" of the edge of a page, you will have to use a margin of at least 0.25".
The graphic on the left displays a picture representing which measurements you are affecting as you tab through the settings.
NOTE: All the above settings are measured in either inches or centimeters, depending on what you have specified in the "Preferences" dialog.
