Choosing paper size

When installing Wepa print apps, select the Large format option in order to print on paper sizes other than letter. When printing, most print dialog boxes will default to the correct paper size for the document you are printing.

If printing from Adobe software (Acrobat, Photoshop, InDesign, etc.), after choosing Print, select Page Setup to adjust the paper size.
